Your faithful generosity allows Amazima to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of many of the most vulnerable children and families in Jinja, Uganda. Lives are transformed, relationships are restored, and communities are changed because of YOUR generosity.
Over 50% of Ugandans are under the age of 15, and most decisions for Christ are made between the ages of 4-14. That’s one more reason your partnership matters.

Your monthly gift of $30 is life-changing as it makes it possible for ONE hungry child to eat, be able to go to school in a safe environment, receive medical care, and learn about the life-changing love of Jesus.

We are often asked about “special projects” that need funding. These are generally unique needs that make it possible to reach our community with the gospel, to operate The Amazima Primary and Secondary School, and to care for the children and families in Jinja, Uganda.
If you have questions about any of the projects below, please contact us.

Please review this list of important projects that range from $1,100 to $120,000 in cost.
New Assembly Hall for the Primary School Campus – $99,900
With 350 primary school students, we need a single location on the campus where everyone can gather at one time. This assembly hall is a place where the students can gather, but so also will the community be able to use it. This is a physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe gathering place where students and the community will be discipled and trained.
Staff Training – $15,500
We regularly invest in our staff to better equip them to disciple and teach the students at The Amazima Schools. This project will fund staff training for the year 2023 to ensure students get the best possible experience in our programs.
Community Medical Assistance – $13,000
This project covers medical treatment for guardians and other individuals in the community we serve. With this assistance, these community members can get medical service that they otherwise could not access.
Dorm Prep for Advanced Level – $3,000
In 2023, we will have our first class start their Upper Secondary studies at the Amazima Secondary School. This project will cover repairs and updating furniture in dorms for these older students as they progress in their education.
Primary School Events – $3,500
The students at our primary school love special events like Easter, Graduation, and Sports Days! This project will fund these events in 2023 to make them special for our students and their attending family members.
Textbooks for Upper Secondary School – $16,000
Our first class of students will be entering their upper secondary studies in 2023. As we prepare to offer our students the best possible education in upper secondary, we will need new textbooks and materials. This will ensure our teachers and students have all the textbooks they need to continue to receive an excellent education at The Amazima Secondary School.
Secondary School Sports Equipment & Uniforms – $7,500 (Only $2,500 to go!)
Sports provide a great opportunity for our students to stay active, develop important character traits, and to be discipled in a unique context. With a growing student body, we need new sports equipment and uniforms to account for more athletes and the regular wear and tear of sports gear.
Secondary School Sports Competition Travel – $11,100
In 2022, Amazima had 6 different sports teams compete at the National level. These competitions are a great way for our student athletes to be exposed to some of the best competition in the country, and a great opportunity for them to witness to other students through the way they play and behave. This project will help cover the expenses of travel and lodging for our sports teams as they compete at the highest level.
New Science Lab and Equipment – $117,343 (Only $12,539 remaining!)
With a growing student body at our Secondary School, we need additional lab space to accommodate all of our students in their many science subjects. A new science lab will not only increase student learning through hands-on experiments, it will create more unique opportunities for discipleship and relationship building between students and their teachers. This project will cover the cost of construction of a new lab along with the equipment needed across our science classes.
PowerSchool Yearly Cost – $8,375
Keeping accurate records of attendance, grades, and discipline is essential for any school. At the Amazima Secondary School, we use a program called PowerSchool to track all student records. This allows administration, teacher, students, and families to stay connected to each student’s progress. This project covers the yearly cost of PowerSchool at our secondary school.
Networking New Administration Building – $10,000
Reliable internet is essential for our administration team to accomplish all tasks required of them. This will equip our new administration building with the equipment needed for fast, reliable internet access.
Firewood – $6,198
Much of the food preparation on our two campuses is performed with the assistance of firewood in generating the heat we need to cook. Three meals a day, feeding over 700 students requires a lot of wood! In 2023 we will begin using propane gas for some of our cooking, but for now, firewood is essential.
14-Passenger Van – $19,000
We are in need of an additional 14-passenger van that will help transport staff and students on medical appointments, errands in town, and other vital services. With the number of students and staff growing on each campus these additional vehicles are vital.
Fuel for Buses – $7,500-$22,500
Amazima owns three main buses that bring students to and from school from the surrounding community. These buses are also responsible for transporting students and staff to different off-campus events like field trips, sports games, and appointments. This project covers the cost of fuel for these essential buses.
Building Maintenance – $19,417
We built our classrooms, homes, and other facilities with the expectation they will last 50+ years. To keep them looking new and in outstanding condition, we continually need to perform maintenance. Your gift will provide the funding we need to complete the building maintenance on both of our campuses for an entire year.
Vehicle Maintenance (The Amazima School) – $30,438
Traveling the roads to and around Jinja can be a bone-jolting experience. If the roads are hard on your body, just imagine the impact they have on our fleet of buses, vans, cars, and motorcycles. Maintenance (and repair!) are key. Your gift will fund vehicle maintenance for our school vehicles for an entire year.
Vehicle Maintenance (Amazima Community Engagement) – $10,945
Our mentors and social workers travel regularly in the region around Jinja, working with the families of our students. Often the “road” to the homes is little more than a dirt path. Most of these visits are conducted by foot, bicycles, or more often, motorcycles and sometimes cars. Your gift will keep these critical vehicles in good, working condition all year long.
Four Acres To Expand The Primary School: $120,000 ($95k remaining)
With the number of students on the rise we are in need of additional, adjacent land for the primary school campus, this will enable us to grow as necessary in the future.
Student Medications – $14,500
Many of our students have medical needs that require regular medication. This project will cover the cost of these medications for the year 2023 to enable these students to stay in school and perform at their best.
Center Circle Drainage Expansion: $6,756
The roundabout of The Amazima Secondary School is a focal point of our campus. The students walk past it everyday to get to the kitchen, and they enjoy studying under the shade of the fig tree planted in the center. Due to the construction on campus and heavy rains, our drainage system within the roundabout needs updating. This will allow us to redirect the water away from the roadway and keep the center green space free from flooding.
Improve Asphalt Road: $20,270
Improvements to the asphalt on the secondary campus is crucial for the upkeep of the main campus road. We will be able to re-pave and fix potholes that will make driving safer and easier on our vehicles.
Dormitory Rainwater Harvesting: $77,505 ($75k remaining)
Dorm Collection and recycling of rainwater is so important in Uganda. This would allow us to have a rainwater collection system for all 28 dorms on our Secondary School Campus enabling us to reuse rainwater for all of our watering needs during the dry seasons.
