Our current focus
The Bugiri School 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.
Education is where the organization's energy is concentrated right now.
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.
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.
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.
What a school makes possible
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 04
Faith and character
Discipleship offered honestly and without coercion, alongside the ordinary formation of character that any good school hopes for.
- 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.

Help build the school
The Bugiri School Project is being built by Ugandan believers in their own community. Partnership from abroad helps pay for it, prays for it, and stays with it.
