Education
Faith Academy
In 2004, I was a graduating college student with a vision and a dream to build a school for children who were not going to school. Faith Preparatory is the proof that when we have a vision and act on it, God moves the rest. That’s what happened in 2005 when we broke ground on this primary school that now educates more than six hundred children every year. The school is located in the Southern province of Rwanda and has performed among the top schools in the country for the last 15 years. Graduates from the school are now graduating from College in the USA, Rwanda, and Uganda. The school has sent six children’s choirs to the United States. The children have performed at notable venues such as Google, LinkedIn, and eBay, among many venues in churches and schools.

Hilltop Academy
Hilltop Academy located about 30 minutes’ drive from the city of Kigali Rwanda opened its doors for children from low income families in 2006. The school which runs both grade school and junior high is educating more than 800 children and has consistently been among the top schools in the district for the last 15 years. Some of its former students are now attending college both in USA and Rwanda. Hilltop Academy is yet another proof that God can fulfill our dreams.

Lwamata High School
The small town of Lwamata is located on the Kampala–Hoima Road, about 117 kilometres (73 miles) northwest of Kampala, the capital and largest city in Uganda. Lwamata was one of the areas where the National Resistance Army guerrillas initiated their early recruitment campaigns. A war memorial was elected in the town, to commemorate the lives that were lost. This small community has made a great recovery since the war, but the standard of educational institutions in the area has remained low. In 2014, this only high school in the community was almost closing and the children sent home when we purchased its assets and took over its management. The school, in addition to regular curriculum, has become a community center where we are training the community in farming, health and sanitation, and skills development.

Asante Primary school
Asante Primary School, built in 2011, is located in Ngozi Burundi, the second largest city in the country of Burundi. Burundi is the second poorest country in the world by GDP per capita. Our work in Burundi started in 2010 with a child sponsorship program educating 600 children. The school was built to support this work and was handed over to the locals. The school sent a children’s choir to the United States in 2012 and the children sang at notable venues such as Intel, Google, and Facebook, and also performed for the former US President George H.W Bush. The school has been supported by two first ladies of Burundi and continues to be a beacon of hope in this improvised community.
