Overview
of projects in Uganda
Mission works of members of the Family International in Uganda comprise a broad range of community and outreach programmes.
Since 1999 members have worked to manifest God’s love in practical terms to those in need. TFI volunteers have brought aid and encouragement to rural parts of the country often ravaged by drought and conflict. From remote regions of the far northeast to war-torn Gulu, members have provided assistance to underprivileged communities to find hope and practical solutions to some of their most pressing challenges.
The STEPS programme, a character- and faith-building curriculum for primary schools in Africa, was developed in Uganda. It was evaluated and commended by education experts and has been in print since 2004.
