I am an associate of God's Grace Ministries and we are developing empowerment/learning centres in remote villages in Uganda.
We urgently need funds towards the 3rd Empowerment centre, Lamunyungu, to build a more permanent structure otherwise the land we are using will be sold. We need 5 million Ugandan shillings (£1060) to achieve this. We have already raised 1 million (£211). Please give generously to our cause to keep this centre for our children.
Our vision is to reach out and help the needy, save lives of those who are perishing ignorantly and improve the standard of our community. Right now we have four church branches as we continue to plant more and open many Schools once we have the resources.
In order to help the community we have set up God's Grace Empowerment Centres, which are primarily to give everyday life-skills, numeracy, literacy and English language to young people in remote Ugandan villages. These centres will include practical activities as well as formal tuition to help the individual young person find their strengths and passions, with the aim to turn those skills into a future career.
"Everyone learns differently traditional schooling doesn’t suit every child. The idea behind Empowerment Centres is that we provide alternative subjects, which can help a child find their skills and passions.
We have found at Kashanda that since we introduced alternative subjects like Fashion and design, Hair Salon and Agriculture, the children and staff have been happier. A happy child can learn much better than a sad or stressed child. A happy teacher will find their life runs a lot better and can give more attention to their students.
Children can create project portfolios that showcase the skills they have gained and these portfolios can be presented to future employers, customers or further education establishments/universities.
Empowerment Centres are not just for the children. Once established we can offer adult courses like English and Agriculture. Skilled experts can come and demonstrate their skills and teach others. The elders can come and share their stories with the children. The only limit is our imagination.
Each centre will be set up according to the available resources and skills in the community. It is up to the community how their centre is run, how it is built and what services it provides.
So let's empower our children, let's empower the community. We can do this!"
Future plans:
- To have well furnished Empowerment Centre buildings from Nursery to University, now we have only Nursery and Primary.
- To have resources in the Empowerment Centres to provide technical and professional studies
- To have a Health and Supports centres linked to the Empowerment centres
- For Empowerment Centres to be recognised all over the world as the future of learning and support for all the community
