FAQs

You will receive a welcome packet in the mail that includes more information about the impact of your partnership, and a prayer card that highlights a child whose life is being changed because of your investment. You will also begin receiving an exclusive email update every month that highlights one of the students who is being impacted by your partnership.

Welcome packets are mailed from our stateside office within 2-4 weeks of your first donation via USPS. If you do not receive your packet within one month of your first gift, please contact us.

Amazima offers a “pooled” scholarship approach rather than a one-to-one model. The Scholarship Program is set up so that all gifts given are pooled together and distributed to over 600 students who have varying medical and tuition costs.

Your monthly partnership with Amazima will continue monthly until you contact us and let us know you’d like to make a change to your gift amount, frequency, or partnership. You can contact us by emailing scholarship@amazima.org or calling 615-656-5355.

A spotlighted child is a child in the Amazima Scholarship Program whom our team in Uganda has chosen to introduce to you. These children range in age and have unique stories to share. Our hope is that our friends around the world will connect with our Ugandan friends more deeply as you learn about their daily lives. Allowing our in-country team to select these spotlighted stories empowers them to be a part of Amazima globally as they share with you the children that have touched their hearts. So, not only are you connecting with these spotlighted children, but also with the hearts of our staff.

Everyone who partners with our scholarship program during the same month will receive information on the same spotlighted child. After this, a new child spotlight video will be sent out via email. These children are representative of the more than 600 children your partnership benefits!

Yes. Children in Uganda love to receive mail from westerners. Please address your letter to “Dear Friends,” – we cannot give your letter to a specific child but will give it to a child that needs a little extra encouragement. Because we can’t predetermine who your letter will go to, keep it general. Children in Uganda love to hear about your life, how you heard about Amazima and your prayers for the children in Uganda and the children in our program. You may mail letters to our Stateside office at:

Amazima Ministries
P.O. BOX 682521
Franklin, TN 37068

Letters are bundled and sent to Uganda several times each year. Please send only a letter and/or photo.

Yes! We’re accepting visitors at The Amazima School every Tuesday from 2:00-3:30PM. If you would like to visit us in Uganda, please complete the visit request form and an Amazima team member will contact you once we receive your completed request. We are humbled and grateful for your interest in Amazima, and we look forward to seeing you in Uganda!

You will receive a welcome packet in the mail when you join the new program.

The cost of schooling in Uganda increases exponentially as students continue further down their educational path. Costs from primary to secondary can be as much as triple at some of the schools our children attend. Post-secondary only sees a greater increase. As an organization, we commit to supporting our students through university or vocational school, if they should choose that path. Therefore, a portion of each dollar is saved to cover the increased expense as the children in our program get older and further in their schooling.

We do not have a cap on our program. We are excited about the potential this new program has to make the logistical process of adding children much more manageable both in Uganda and Stateside. We will consistently be in prayer and will be obedient to the direction that God provides about the growth of the scholarship program.

For further questions about our scholarship program, you can email us at scholarship@amazima.org, and we will be in touch as soon as possible.
