Sponsor a Primary School Child
Transform a Life for Just £15 per Month
Education is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty, but for many children in Uganda, it remains out of reach. At Love in Action, we see this reality every day—children in our schools who struggle to afford school fees, uniforms, or even basic supplies like exercise books.
By sponsoring a child through Love in Action, you can make an incredible difference in their life. Your £15 per month provides:
• School Fees: Ensuring the child can attend school and access quality education.
• Uniform and Supplies: Giving them the essentials they need to succeed in their studies.
• Daily School Lunch: Providing a nutritious meal every day, essential for their growth and concentration.
Your sponsorship doesn’t just pay for their education—it brings hope, stability, and the chance for a brighter future. Every child you sponsor is given the opportunity to dream big and reach their full potential.

Provide a Scholarship for a Secondary School Child
Just £25 per Month
For many children in Uganda, secondary education is a distant dream due to financial barriers. At Love in Action, we work to change that by giving children the opportunity to continue their education and build a brighter future.
By providing a scholarship for a secondary school student, your £25 per month helps cover:
• School Fees: Enabling access to quality education that opens doors to new opportunities.
• Uniform and Supplies: Equipping students with the essentials they need for success.
• Daily School Lunch: Ensuring they have the nourishment needed to focus and thrive.
Your scholarship sponsorship goes beyond education—it offers hope, stability, and a pathway out of poverty for a young person eager to learn and grow.
Take a moment to meet the students on the next page and choose to provide a life-changing scholarship. Together, we can make secondary education accessible and help shape future leaders.

How I can Help
Love in Action exists to help educate children and young people in Masaka, Uganda. We work by running a Primary School and a Secondary School, sponsoring education, and running a youth project to provide housing and education for teenagers. We do this through sponsors, donations and by running a farm in Uganda.
School Sponsorship
Please help us by giving regularly, just £5 per month helps us educate these children and young people.
Sponsor a meal
Many of our children come to school without breakfast, so we give all our children a cup of porridge when they arrive at 7am this helps them concentrate better throughout the day.
School Shoes
We provide each of our sponsored children with a pair of school shoes, ensuring they have the basics needed for their education. However, an extra pair of shoes can make a world of difference, especially during the rainy season when shoes often wear out or take time to dry. Your support in providing an additional pair helps keep their journey to school safe and comfortable, no matter the weather.
Help Us Provide a New Minibus for Our Schools
At Love in Action, our worn-out old minibus has been a lifeline for many years, transporting children from remote forest villages to school and back home safely each day. However, it has reached the end of its life, and we urgently need your help to replace it.
For these children, the minibus is more than just a vehicle—it’s their bridge to education. Without it, many would face impossible journeys on foot, preventing them from attending school. A new minibus will ensure these children continue to receive the education they deserve, giving them the opportunity to build a brighter future.
We’re appealing to our supporters to help us raise the funds needed for this vital replacement. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to giving these children safe and reliable transport.
Please join us in making this possible and keeping the journey to education alive.
Love in Action: Standing in the Gap
At Love in Action, we step in for children and young people who live in difficult circumstances, offering them the love, stability, and sense of family they desperately need.
Our health clinic is a vital lifeline, serving as the first point of care for our children and the surrounding community, ensuring everyone has access to essential medical support.
We understand that hungry children cannot learn effectively. Many of the children in our schools come to class without breakfast, so we provide them with nutritious maize porridge each morning to help them concentrate and thrive.
Through these practical acts of care, we aim to transform lives, one child at a time. Together, we can continue to bring hope and opportunity to those who need it most.
About
The Beginnings of Love in Action
When Alan and Beryl Went arrived in Masaka in 2003, they started with an internet café—a safe, pornography-free space where the local community could access technology. It was there that they met two men passionate about helping children in their village of Kyetume.
In response to this need, and through a silver wedding anniversary appeal, Alan and Beryl raised funds to build a primary school, followed by a secondary school, and began sponsoring children to attend. This marked the humble yet impactful beginnings of Love in Action.
As their work grew, they recognised another urgent need: helping girls who had dropped out of school due to a lack of fees. To protect these vulnerable young women from exploitation, including “sugar daddies,” Hosanna House was created, providing a safe haven and opportunities for a brighter future.
From small steps, Love in Action has grown into a movement of hope and transformation.
Our Projects In Uganda
Secondary School
The sub-county of Bukakata is home to approximately 7,000 children under the age of 18, including around 1,600 orphans. While across Masaka District, about 50% of young people progress from primary to secondary school, in Bukakata, this figure is drastically lower—only 11%.
With just one other secondary school in the sub-county, opportunities for further education are severely limited.
At our school, we believe every young person deserves access to education, regardless of their financial circumstances. That’s why we accept students regardless of their ability to pay, ensuring no one is left behind.
If you would like to support a student’s education, please visit our scholarship page to learn how you can contribute to this life-changing initiative. Together, we can open the doors to brighter futures.
Nursery & Primary School
In January 2008, we established Christ’s Embassy Primary School to provide quality education rooted in the Ugandan National Curriculum, enriched with a Christian perspective. Situated in a small, underprivileged village, Kasaka, about 35 km (21 miles) from Masaka, the school has become a beacon of hope for the surrounding community. In 2016, we expanded to include a Nursery School, offering a strong foundation for younger children.
The school serves children from several small fishing villages and communities within a 16-mile radius. Many of our students walk up to 8 miles each way to attend classes, demonstrating their determination to receive an education.
Today, Kasaka Primary & Nursery School has 9 classes, staffed by 15 dedicated teachers, including our head teacher. To support the school’s operations, we also employ a bursar/site manager, two cooks, a caretaker, and night guards. Together, we strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment for every child.
Kasaka Health Clinic
With the generous support of a group of British medical students, we were able to build and equip a much-needed health clinic in Kasaka, bringing essential healthcare to an area where it is most needed.
The clinic currently employs two full-time nurses who play a vital role in safeguarding the health of the children at both our schools. Every child receives a health check each term, and a vaccination service is offered to ensure they remain protected against preventable diseases.
Beyond the schools, the clinic provides basic first aid services to the surrounding rural communities, serving as the first point of contact for many families in need of medical care.
This health clinic is more than a building—it’s a lifeline, offering hope and healing to the children and families of Kasaka. Together, we can continue to support this vital service and the lives it touches.
Coffee Farm
At Love in Action, we operate a thriving coffee farm in Uganda that not only contributes to the global coffee market but also supports our mission to transform lives. The proceeds from our farm directly fund our schools, health clinic, and community initiatives, helping to provide education, healthcare, and stability to vulnerable children and families in Masaka and beyond.
Our schools are financed by sponsorship and fee paying students.
In Uganda secondary education comprises 4 years Senior 1 to 4 then pupils take O-Level Exams, in 2016 our first group of pupils took their exams at our school and did very well, all passed and or school ranked very well in the country.
Following O Level exams pupils can then go on for a further 2 years and then take A Level exams, we do not currently offer this at our school but we have plans to do so in the future. Some of our pupils who do very well at O Level exams at brought to Masaka to continue their studies.
