01Who we are

A New Jersey 501(c)(3) public charity working alongside Ugandan believers in Bugiri, building for the long term, not for a news cycle.

Living Springs Global Fellowship exists to glorify Jesus Christ by changing the future for vulnerable children in Uganda through Christ-centered education, compassionate care, healthcare, discipleship, and sustainable community development.

02What we are doing

The BugiriSchool Project

Living Springs Global Fellowship is partnering with a local Christian organization in Bugiri, Uganda to build a boarding school serving vulnerable children currently living in the Bugiri Children's Centre, as well as qualified children throughout the surrounding community.

The goal is an excellent standard of Christian education, the kind of school a Ugandan family would choose on merit, paired with the safety, nutrition, healthcare and discipleship that make learning possible.

Why a boarding school

Learning needs stability
Children already living at the Bugiri Children's Centre need somewhere to be all year, not only during school hours. Boarding keeps education, housing and care under one commitment instead of three fragile ones.
Distance is a real barrier
Qualified children from surrounding villages can be a long walk from any good school. Boarding removes the daily journey as a reason a bright child stops attending.
Care and teaching reinforce each other
Consistent meals, health, protection and discipleship are not extras bolted onto a school day. They are the conditions that let a child concentrate, stay enrolled, and finish.

How the campus comes together

  1. Phase 01

    Boarding and care

    Before we build a single classroom, we want every child to know they are safe, fed, and able to keep learning. This phase focuses on stabilizing their living environment: a secure place to sleep, regular meals, clean water, and basic care. At the same time, we will cover school fees and provide the materials and supplies they need for their existing education, so that learning does not stop while the campus grows.

We publish capacity, cost and timeline only once they are confirmed by the team in Uganda. Numbers that move a donor to give should be numbers we can stand behind.

The school is being built with a Ugandan Christian organization that was serving Bugiri long before Living Springs arrived and will be serving it long after any visiting team goes home. Local leadership decides what is needed; partnership abroad helps make it possible.

03What a school makes possible

Five things must be true before a child can think about the future.

None of these work alone. A boarding school can hold learning, nourishment, safety, health, and discipleship together, consistently, over time.

  1. 01

    A place to belong

    A bed, three meals, and adults who know their name. Before anything can be taught, a child has to be able to stop worrying about tomorrow.

  2. 02

    An education worth having

    Real teaching from qualified teachers, in a language and standard that opens the door to secondary school rather than quietly closing it.

  3. 03

    Health and protection

    Care when they are sick, clean water, and clear safeguarding, so that illness or harm does not end a child's schooling.

  4. 04

    Faith and character

    Discipleship offered honestly and without coercion, alongside the ordinary formation of character that any good school hopes for.

  5. 05

    A future they choose

    Secondary school, a trade, a university place, a business. The point is not that a child is rescued. It is that a child gets to decide.

All five, for years at a time.

That is why long-term partnership matters more than a one-off appeal.

04Five areas of ministry

One gospel. Five ways it takes root.

The ministries work together around a child and community. Education is where the effort is concentrated now.

Our current focus

School in Mityana

Education

Education is where Living Springs is concentrating its energy right now. The Bugiri School Project is the first campus: a boarding school built to a standard that Ugandan families would choose on merit, staffed by teachers who love Jesus and love children, offering a genuine path to secondary school, university, and vocation.

“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”
James 1:27

06How can I help?

Become a long-term partner in a child's future.

Nobody here is being rescued. Ugandan believers are building this school in their own community; partnership from abroad helps pay for it and prays for it. That distinction matters, and we intend to keep it.

Support the Vision

Give once, or partner monthly. Regular giving is what lets a school plan past the current term. It funds teachers and meals, not just bricks.
