This 3-day camp in January will bring students 15 and older together to encourage them in their spiritual growth and character development. This is during the long break from school. Therefore, it is an opportunity to re-connect with fellow students and mentors before the new school year begins.

Our families are beginning savings and loan groups within their communities. This will allow them to work in their community for the best solutions as needs arise. This cost would cover the materials (primarily books and record-keeping materials) for this program.

During school holidays, Amazima’s Community Engagement Team plans creative, fun days with our students to deepen relationships and continue discipleship. This project will provide materials and resources for these discipleship programs that occur outside of the academic calendar.

We have 6 students currently enrolled at Vision for Africa in 2-year vocational certificate programs (fashion & design, plumbing, automotive mechanics, etc.). We are anticipating 12 more students to enroll for 2024.

“There4” Conference costs. We will have all Secondary females at TAS as well as inviting females from other schools to attend a conference with world-renown speakers, Christ-centered worship and a powerful message of hope.

We will also look at a conference for boys at TAS. This will be run internally. There are not many details yet, but we will want to give this opportunity to create a life-changing conference for our young men.

As the Amazima Primary School continues to grow, we need resources that allow us to support students in their studies and cultivate a love of reading. Help provide more books and resources to ensure our teachers and library has everything it needs to best serve our students.

A new health center is under construction at our Secondary School. This cost will make sure that the nursing areas, counseling rooms and physiotherapy room are setup to serve our Secondary students with holistic care.

Musical instruments, costumes, and props are essential pieces that we want our primary students to have access to. This will allow us to have greater diversity in the musical instruments and equipment available to students attending the primary school.

We are growing our music program at the Secondary School! This will allow us to increase the musical instruments available for learning as well as providing the equipment for the local music & dance programs.

It is so important for primary students to exercise and let their energy out during the school day. This will allow us to purchase more supplies for PE and sports at our primary school.

Our primary students love getting to create things! This will allow us to provide more unique opportunities for our students to create and have fun in art class.

Art class creates an opportunity for our secondary students to creatively express themselves. As our student body continues to grow, we have a need for a larger, more diverse set of art supplies. This would include a kiln for our students growing in pottery skills.

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 furnishing this new lab along with the equipment needed across our life science classes.

A new health center is under construction at our Secondary School. This cost will asphalt the road around the center. This will protect our students and medical equipment from dust, and it will allow transport to easily access the center in case of emergency.

We have had issues with underground water damaging the floors in our Primary School classrooms. This project will allow us to correct the issue with the right floor for the long-term needs.

Due to the continued sun and rain, we need to resurface the basketball courts at the Secondary School. This will allow students to continue programs for our students to stay active, develop important character traits, and to be discipled in a unique context.

We have a new assembly hall at our Primary School. This project will allow us to install electricity for larger assemblies and presentations.

We have had trouble with the existing stoves at our Primary School. This project will allow us to install gas stoves. Currently, our kitchen staff is forced to use facilities under a tent, which becomes uncomfortably smoky, especially when firewood becomes wet.

This project will allow the mathematics team to introduce a grid whiteboard for math instruction and provide calculators for incoming students.

The Amazima School is full of beautiful plants that add to the beauty and point to the Creator.  This hedge trimmer would greatly improve the landscaping team’s effectiveness as our campus continues to grow.

We continue to train technicians who use their skills to serve us throughout the campus. Some equipment (sanders, plumbing tools, etc.) will help them continue to grow in their ability to serve.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Amazima students gather in the chapel multiple times a week to worship and enjoy campus life together.  This projector and lights will bring a brighter screen in those services.

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.

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.

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.
