We love our students and teachers! As education continues to expand for the students in our school, our need for supplies grows. Our scholarships help cover tuition for those in need, materials for the classroom, transportation costs, and other essentials to succeed as a thriving Uganda student. 100% of our funding comes from individual donors. We do not receive any funding from government or outside agencies. We are a beautiful community, supported by loving donors that believe in our cause around the world.
1. A recurring monthly contribution.
2. A one time donation.
It costs around $85 per month for a student at our school. Your donation to our scholarship program will help support those in greatest need. Our goal is $3,750 per month to reach 100% of our need in 2025!
In 2019 Lasting Smiles Uganda worked to establish a 501 (C) (3) in the United States and in 2022 we received our Non-Government Organization (NGO) certification in Uganda.
Lasting Smiles has five key pillars to achieve our mission:
1. Education: Quality and inclusive education from Nursery to Secondary level education by promoting enrollment and retention through parents and community engagements. LSU will expand upon its existing Pre-Primary and Primary School, adding a Secondary School and occupational training for those students who are now beginning to reach high school age.
2. Health: Improve Health services by establishing a Health Center in Kyajja Community and will work with partners in the health sector on improvements in family health practices.
3. Agriculture: Establish a sustainable demonstration school farm with the aim of providing food for the school but also train community members on best farming practices, hence promoting economic empowerment.
4. Discipleship: The children and the community members will be drawn to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ as the ultimate transforming tool physically and spiritually.
5. Child Protection: The provision of a safe environment to protect children from kidnap, abuse, child labor, rape, violence, and defilement.
Donating through Lasting Smiles Uganda is safe, secure, and easy.
