For The Children's Sake Foundation

Our relationship with St Joseph's began in 2006, when its founder, Mr. Michael Nsamba, heard about attended our teacher training session to occur in Kenya, and took a bus over to attend. He later became our Uganda contact for arranging training sessions in that country, and helps maintain contacts between FTCSF and the schools who have attended training.

Michael has a sincere desire to serve orphans and vulnerable children with a solid education and Christian worldview. In March, 2009 he began renting a two room building and founded St Joseph's School to serve children that have no other school available within walking distance. Michael cares so much about making education accessible to the poor that he takes chickens, produce or goats in place of tuition.

St Joseph's is faithfully serving children, but the space they are renting is inadequate and Michael has bigger dreams for his students. He has purchased a parcel of land, paid to have blueprints designed for a school building and gained construction permission from the government all the while prayerfully believing that God would provide the funds to build.

FTCSF was blessed to be able to help him with a Seed Grant of $1000. He′ll use this to fund the beginning of construction of a three classroom block of the planned building.

We will continue to support St Joseph's through our teacher training program. The teachers at St Joseph's attended nursery school training this July and are eagerly awaiting the next primary school training session in Uganda.
