Where Hope meets Action
Our Friends and Partners
Let me tell you about Vanessa Nandawula. She’s 10 years old and in primary three this year, and every morning she walks for 40 minutes to reach Agape Star Christian Nursery and Primary School. When she arrives, her face lights up – not just because she’ll get breakfast and a warm lunch, but because someone here knows her name, sees her potential, and believes in her future.
Vanessa is one of our 202 children whose lives you are changing right now.
The Difference You’re Making
When you support Barnabas Legacy Children’s Dream Foundation, you’re not just giving funds. You’re creating possibilities where hope was running low.
Real Impact in Real Lives
Food Security for Growing Bodies
Most of our children come from homes where meals are uncertain. Your support helps us make sure that each child gets food in their hands twice a day – a breakfast drink to help them focus and a moderate lunch to fuel their growing bodies. For some children, these are the only reliable meals they get.
Teachers Who Stay and Care
In many schools across our region, teachers leave because salaries come late or not at all. But at Agape Star, our teachers arrive early and stay late. Why? Because they know they’ll be paid with dignity and on time. This stability means your investment doesn’t just hire teachers—it builds careers for people who truly care.
A Place of Safety
Our school is more than classrooms and books. It’s a refuge where children feel protected, valued and loved. In a world that can be harsh to vulnerable children, you’re helping us create a space where childhood is honoured and dreams are nurtured.
The Multiplication Effect
When one child learns to read, they read to their siblings.
When one child is fed, their parents gain hope.
When one child experiences love, they learn to love others.
When one child encounters God, they carry that light home.
Your generosity creates ripples that spread far beyond our school gates.
Growing Need, Limited Resources
The Challenge Ahead
While October brought us wonderful stability, we’re looking ahead with both faith and realism. Here’s what we’re facing:
More Children Waiting:
We have more children on our waiting list. These are families who’ve heard about Agape Star and desperately want their children to attend. But we can only accept as many as we can properly care for.
Rising Costs:
The price of basic supplies – beans for meals, firewood for cooking, learning materials – keeps increasing. What fed 100 children last year now feeds 85.
Your Partnership Makes the Impossible Possible
Stories That Inspire Us
Teacher Joan: “This Is Why I Teach”
Joan has been with us for three years. She teaches Primary 3, and every morning she arrives before the sun rises to prepare lessons.
“I used to work at a bigger school,” she told us. “But here, I’m not just a teacher – I’m part of a family. When I see children who couldn’t write their names in January now reading full sentences in October, I remember why I chose this work. The consistency here – knowing we’ll be supported, knowing the children are truly cared for – it lets me focus on what matters: teaching.”
Your support makes this commitment possible.
