Every gift goes to the children of Namagera Care Mission — school, meals, medical care — and to the roughly 350 people affected by leprosy in the villages around us.
In Mayuge, one of the poorest districts in Uganda, we own and run Great Love Junior Academy — a primary school with a Christ-centered curriculum. Most of our children are orphans and live in the dormitories. The rest are here on scholarship, from families too poor to pay. They board through the week and go home at weekends — they board so that they eat, because at home a meal is not something you can count on.
Your giving pays their school fees, their uniform, their books and supplies, and three meals a day. It buys them a birthday: a celebration of their own, and a set of new clothes they get to pick out themselves — almost everything else these children own is a hand-me-down. And when a child finishes around seventh grade and moves on to a secondary school, we pay those fees as well, so no child’s education stops simply because they outgrew us.
Nobody here is paid to raise money. On this side everyone is a volunteer — no salaries, no offices, no fundraisers, no one taking a cut on the way past. The people we do pay are in Uganda, at the school: eleven teachers, a principal and an assistant principal, a school nurse, two cooks, a matron who looks after the children in the dormitories, and a security guard. That is what your gift pays for — and that is the mission, not overhead.
That is one child — everything above, in their name. And you won’t be sponsoring a stranger. Pastor Isaac connects you directly:
Your name, address and contact details stay with us. They are never given out.
The children who have no sponsor yet are listed first — we want every one of them to know the love of Christ. But if one child in particular stops you, sponsor them anyway: eleven of ours already have two sponsors, and none of them is the worse for it.
By credit card, or straight from your checking account. A bank draft costs us less, so more of your gift reaches Uganda — at the payment step, choose US bank account instead of Card.
In May 2026 we bought the school — 4.2 acres, surveyed and titled. What we build now, we keep. The fence is funded and going up; still to build are a four-classroom block, two dormitories and two toilet and shower blocks. The plan, the costs and the progress have a page of their own.
Two of our funds don’t give money away. They lend it at zero interest, and when it is repaid it goes straight back out — to the next student, the next family. One gift keeps working.
School fees and tuition for a student going on to college or a trade. There is no interest, so a student repays exactly what was lent and not a shilling more.
Once they have finished and are working, they pay back 20% of their salary until the balance is clear. All of it goes to the next student.
One young man is in the program now, training as a medical laboratory assistant. A sponsor has given $600 so far, which covered his first semester; he and his family are carrying the rest. He has pledged to pay back what was given, so it can go to the next student.
The program is run and administered by Pastor Isaac.
Unemployment in Uganda runs near 35%, and the banks charge around 22% interest to the people least able to pay it. That is why so many willing workers never get started — and why so many families in Uganda live in poverty.
A gift funds a whole income-producing project — the equipment, the training and the plan — and the family repays it out of what the project earns.
The first one is a tractor and plows, with a Ugandan operator plowing sugarcane land. It needs $40,000. Namagera Care Mission will own and manage the tractor, and once the loan is repaid, all of its profits go to the school and nothing else.
The program is run and administered by Pastor Isaac.
Both funds are new, and both depend on repayment working the way it is meant to. If you would like to see the plan behind either one before you give, email info@heisworthy.net and we will send it to you.
