Our mission

To end needless suffering

CTJS is expanding technical, cognitive and affective skills for holistic family development within Kiboga, Uganda.

We work with all stakeholders, including farmers, government and the private sector, to create inclusive economic growth and support the development of thriving rural communities.

While we are providing an education our goal is to ensure these children are fed.

It will provide our students the opportunity to focus on educating themselves and not worrying about a grumbling stomach.

What we do

Improving everyday lives

Together we create education opportunities for the most disadvantaged young people to earn a practical education and participate in the community.

How we help

Helping our community overcome extreme poverty

Over the past two years we have helped improve access to food and income for 50 households.

Hundreds of people are struggling without a reliable source of food and income to support themselves and their families.

CTJS works to address the barriers to family social and economic independence. Our volunteers make sure people have the skills, opportunities and support needed to live more secure and dignified lives.


We are promoting fairer outcomes for agricultural communities. The rural poor, especially women, produce most of the world’s food. In return, they face high risks, a changing climate and very little reward for their incredibly hard work.

The vast majority of poor rural farming communities are unable to compete equally in global markets. They remain stuck in chronic poverty. We work closely in the community to improve agricultural outcomes.

Help us reach our next milestone

Banana Plantation

We are on a mission to plant and grow over 800 banana tree's to support our local community.

Our goal is to make our school self-sustaining. Recent donations for two acres of land is a tremendous milestone for us. With your help we plan to farm this land immediately and we are now reaching out for extra donations to plant the bananas trees before the seasonal rains. We'd love for you to be a part of this story. With an extra $627, we will make the plantation complete. Alongside these 800 banana trees, we will also intercrop with beans and Irish potatoes.

Please feel encouraged to donate to our goal and mission to bless this community in Uganda. No amount is too small. Every donation is helping us us make a bigger impact.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us thus far.

Additional community initiatives

We also need to develop an adequate & safe water supply for our school community. We are studying options to drill a quality water well.

We continue to look for effective ways to provide adequate and nutritious food for our school community.

Meet the leaders

Richard & Slyvia

Dear Friends,

Richard (Lyakota) and Sylvia (Nantongo) Kent are the Executive and Co-Directors of Christ Towers Junior School.

Richard guides all aspects of teaching, early child learning and lesson planning. Sylvia is mother/matron to all the children and enjoys growing a variety of food for their community, helping with cooking and meeting the practical needs of her “other children”.Both have been trained as “Village Health Workers”, which is based on the book “Where There Is No Doctor”, to give effective medical care to their school community.
