When the Covid-19 pandemic hit Uganda in 2020, the Ugandan government responded by shutting the country down. Stores were closed, transportation ceased to exist and to make things worse, it was the planting season and there were no crops to harvest. The majority of the people who live in and around the mountain village of Nangala live hand to mouth at best. The families are large and the employment opportunities are limited, so most families have no reserve to carry them through a disaster like the early Covid 19 pandemic.

The vision for the transformation of the village of Nangala, Uganda, through the education of the children at a Christian school began with Pastor Obed Ndyamuba, of Kabale, Uganda. Pastor Obed was aware of the poverty, hopelessness and heavy alcohol addiction to alcohol in the village and he knew that Christian education for the children would be a powerful agent for change in the village.
