Christ School Bundibugyo is a truly remarkable ministry.
Hundreds of students have received a quality education taught with a Biblical
worldview since it was founded in the 1990s by World Harvest Mission. Over the
last several years leadership of the school has transitioned into Ugandan hands
and it has continued to bear fruit. This year the school’s exam scores were the
highest they have ever been and both the girls and boys football teams competed
in nationals!
Bundibugyo is a place where every family struggles to
find the resources to provide their children with an education. Few girls have
the opportunity to attend secondary school and children who have lost their
father or both parents have little to no chance of attending. Since the
formation of Christ School , the OVC (Orphan and Vulnerable
Child) Sponsorship Program has also been in existence. The program gives
students who show academic promise and do not have a parent to pay tuition the
chance to attend secondary school.
The OVC program has been producing many successful
graduates from the school, some of whom are teachers there now. Others have
pursued careers in medicine, agriculture, social work, or business; often
working to benefit their home of Bundibugyo. Christ School as a whole is working to empower
the next generation of Bundibugyo to bring forth the kingdom. The OVC Program is
a special way to empower the disadvantaged who still show great
promise.
Each year, approximately 60 students are sponsored by
Americans through the OVC Program (10 from each grade level). Each of these
students has a unique story of struggle and heartbreak but they also have hope
and plans for the future. We currently are in dire need of sponsors; 21 students
are looking for someone to partner with them through their education. Would you
consider investing in one of these students? The cost of sponsoring a student
for a year is only $1.65 per day. Prayerfully consider how you might be a part
of this movement to bring renewal and hope to Bundibugyo and click here to learn more about
how to give.
