Latest C2U News
Boys' Dormitory is Open!
The boys' dormitory and latrine in Bubago has officially been dedicated and is open! This is a great opportunity for boys to increase their chance of success. The boarding option allows boys to no longer walk long distances to and from school each day, freeing up time for extra work with teachers and for homework. It also guarantees they get breakfast and dinner each day!
New Partnership in Orem
Connect to Uganda has launched a second village partnership in northern Uganda. Orem Lutheran Church formed in 2023 and C2U has made 3 visits to this community. We will be working to support their school (currently 73 students) and the infrastructure to support them. We will be using our 5-year village partnership plan that was first used in Bubago.

The mission team going to Uganda in July 2025 is set! This 12-member team (three are missing from the photo) will leave on July 8th. It's a great blend of repeat-goers and first-timers! They will serve in the villages of Bubago and Orem.
​
We are excited to see what God has in store for this team and those they go to serve!
Permanent School Structure Construction
Bishop Charles Bameka of the Lutheran Church of Uganda, led a dedication of the construction project that will result in the first block of the permanent structure for Bubago Lutheran Nursery & Primary School! This block will include three classrooms, offices, storage and a library! This is a big step forward for this community.
Graduation for Far Away Friends
Six women in the tailoring program of the Far Away Friends recently graduated! They were given sewing machines and other supplies. Four of the women will continue to work in the sewing center and two will launch businesses of their own, under the watchful eye of the FAF Administrator. We are so excited about the future for these women!
Poultry Project Launched
The poultry house for the Far Away Friends poultry project was officially dedicated during our recent visit. We are so excited about this partnership with Pennies for Poultry that will allow women to learn the proper way to raise chickens to lay eggs. It's another way for the women to generate income to support their families!
Clean Water for Akia
Connect to Uganda was thrilled to be able to fund a new borehole well for the village of Akia, outside of Lira. This well will provide clean, accessible water for over 600 families. This project is part of C2U's Strength Initiative that brings better health to people in Uganda.
