Barnabas Legacy Children’s Dream Foundation (BLCDF) is a Christian Child Care Ministry that cares for vulnerable, orphaned and needy children living in Katunda Village and the surrounding rural villages in Buikwe District, Jinja, Uganda.
BLCDF was founded in 2013 by Pastor Steven Wamala and a team from Katunda Pentecostal AOG, Buikwe District. The Church is in Katunda Village.
In February 2023, the Agape Star Christian School (ASCS) was opened under the umbrella of BLCDF, a private Christian school in Namatovu village, Buikwe District.
The school was co-founded by BLCDF and Mr and Mrs Naroba (Australia) to provide education for Ugandan children living in the poor rural villages of the Buikwe District. It includes some of the children directly under the Foundation’s care.
The BLCD Foundation is a legally registered Ugandan not-for-profit organisation.
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.

Welcome to Agape Star Christian Nursery and Primary School (ASCS), a private mixed pre-primary and primary day (and yet to become a boarding) school found within the community of Namatovu village in Buikwe District, Uganda.
At ASCS, we are committed to providing an exceptional educational experience, setting us apart as a school of excellence. Our vision is significant, and it continues to grow. God has not only provided for us in every way, but He has also gone above and beyond, allowing us to continue with our build phases to upgrade our facilities and provide a strong Christian education that will enable us to invest in our children spiritually, physically and academically.
We strive to offer affordable, high-quality, holistic education in a nurturing, child-friendly environment. This vision is deeply rooted in our mission, guided by our motto: “For God’s love compels us.” We uphold core values such as being God-fearing, promoting mutual respect, pursuing excellence in all endeavours, treating all stakeholders fairly, fostering a love for children, emphasising spiritual disciplines (such as prayer and reading the bible) and maintaining cleanliness and punctuality.
Over the last 18 months since the school opened, we have experienced remarkable growth and development regarding our infrastructure and student welfare. Thanks to the unwavering support of our esteemed partners and donors, we are proud of you all!
To ensure effective governance and strategic planning, we have a dynamic School Management Committee responsible for making policy decisions and setting ambitious goals for our school’s continuous development. Our highly qualified and experienced teaching staff and our dedicated non-teaching and support staff contribute to our students’ overall success and growth.
The safety and security of our students are of paramount importance to us. Our school boasts a secure, spacious, and well-maintained environment encircled by protective wire mesh enclosures. Within our well-equipped classrooms, we provide a safe and conducive atmosphere for learning, complete with comfortable furniture and proper ventilation. We have a dedicated Askari (Guard) to ensure the continuous safety and security of our pupils and school property.
At ASCS, we prioritise the overall welfare of our students. To support their healthy growth, we provide nutritious and balanced meals to all students. We also offer various extracurricular activities to nurture our students’ diverse talents and interests, including music, dance and outdoor games. Our small school bus ensures punctual and safe transportation for nursery day scholars.
Academically, our school follows the Uganda Primary School Curriculum, complemented by our exclusively designed Nursery Curriculum, which follows the NCDC (National Curriculum Development Centre) Learning Framework.
I encourage you to be prayerful about partnering with us, whether through a donation or prayer or coming for a field visit/missions trip.
Blessings
