Celebrating an Up Grade

Ugandan schools have been participating in distance learning but now as of March 1, 2021 schools are opening their doors. Students have been working hard to keep their grades up and they are excited about returning to school. We have more to celebrate as Pillars Nursery and Primary Center is not only opening their doors but have gotten an up grade. With five new classrooms added from our 2020 Healing Hands Foundation Matching grant project. Now 22 Pillars' children will be able to attend Pillars Nursery Center.

This is a milestone of great significance and hopefully the beginning of an even brighter future for these children.

So many beautiful smiles show the thankful hearts and love of learning. Thank you to all who pray for and invest in these children.

We have several “Giving” opportunities right now!

If you have been blessed, please consider blessing the children we help support at the Pillars of Africa Children’s Ministry in Uganda. They work hard to learn the skills and knowledge needed to make a difference in their communities and lift their families out of poverty.
