Great To Meet You
We Love Our Children!
In 2019 a group of energized community leaders from Nalidi P.A.G church in Nalidi Village,Kanginima Sub County,Butebo District, Uganda knew that the vulnerable children in their community had to be helped.
They knew that Uganda's future depends on a new generation of empowered youth to lead the nation into a new era of prosperity.
The group transformed a church building into a classroom, added some temporary classrooms outside, secured recognition from the government and the St.Edward Junior School-Nalidi was born!
It's An Honor To Meet You!
Edward Mosingi
Executive Director
The path out of poverty is through God and education.
I know.
It is the story of my life.
At two years old, I lost my mother. Though mired in poverty, my father instilled in me that education was the way to a significant life.
By the sixth level of school, I felt the cultural pressure to marry. But I resisted and continued to sell chapati and mandazi
It has been a long journey but earning my teaching certificate at Kabwangasi Primary Teachers' college was a day to celebrate!
It was only because of God's love and so many people who believed in me and stepped forward to help that I avoided the pitfalls of early marriage, AIDS, drugs, and violence.
Today, I invite you to join us in raising up a new generation of leadership in Uganda. Your prayers, financial involvement, and participation are all welcome!
