Lives Changed
Lives Changed
We have been providing education in Kasaka for 15 years.
When the charity first came to the village there was low quality housing, no access to clean water, no shops or provisions and no health care. Very few families spoke English which is the official language of Uganda.
Photos of the early years
Travelling to the village 15 years later you will see:
- Brick built houses with substantial roofing
- Three shops in the village
- The Love in Action health centre
- Access to clean water (at the school through our borehole) and through the village pump
- A number of houses that now make use of solar power and have satellite dishes
- Individuals providing transport through boda bodas (motorbike taxi services)
In the surrounding villages there is still a high level of poverty and poor housing and our work continues.
Those young people who have completed primary and secondary education have been equipped to find work outside of the village and their financial contribution to their family has helped the prosperity of the village.
Two of our Love in Action employees were once students at the school and we are delighted to share their stories here:
Nkambo Livingstone lived in the village of Kasaka and attended the primary school from 2006-2012. He then progressed to secondary school from 2013-2017.
At secondary school he excelled academically and was recognised as the best academic performance in the school. After completing his O level studies, Livingstone completed his teacher training at Primary Teachers’ College. Upon completing his teacher training, Livingstone returned to his home village and the school that had educated him. He has made a significant impact on the lives of his students. Livingstone’s hobbies include playing and training football, reading novels, teaching and conducting research. As a keen member of the school football team at primary and secondary school he now enjoys providing his students with the opportunity to compete in sports against other schools.

Help us help
Christ's Embassy Primary School, Kasaka
Christ’s Embassy Primary School, Kasaka
Our Nursery & Primary School provides education for children from 4 to 14 to a high standard. In Uganda after 2 or 3 years of nursery school children complete 7 years of primary education at the end of which they take a national exam (Primary Leaving Exam – PLE). In 2024 all our pupils passed this exam. There is more information on this school here
LIA Christian Secondary School, Kasaka
Love in Action Christian Secondary School
Our Secondary School set in a village called Kasaka, near Lake Victoria provides 4 years of education leading to O Level National exams. We currently have around 140 pupils. In 2024 all our pupils passed their exams and we were place in the top 30% of all secondary schools in Uganda.
Kasaka Health Clinic
We built and equipped a much needed Health clinic in Kasaka
With the help of a group of British medical students, we have been able to build and equip a much needed Health clinic in Kasaka. This will provide healthcare where it is most needed.
At present, we employ 2 full-time nurses. They are responsible for the healthcare of the children at both schools. Each child has a health check every term, and a vaccination service is offered to all our children.

Farm
In 2020 we planted about 8 acres of coffee plants to help provide income for the schools
As a responsible organisation we need to be working towards generating income within Uganda to support the work amongst children and young people. With this in mind we have allocated land at our Kasaka site to run a farm. Each class has a plot to enable them to learn good agricultural techniques. The main crop that we grow is coffee and we have over 6000 coffee trees, the income from the coffee helps us run the schools.
Boarding Section
Help us allow children to board at school
It is very common for students in Uganda to board at school and following the COVID epidemic and our excellent exam results more pupils would prefer to board at school. During 2020 we were able to build dormitory for 40 girls and the picture show our latest building for the boys. We now need to equip this building with beds, mattresses, a solar lighting system and curtains. To do this will cost £7000 please help us buy buying an item for this new dormitory. See our shop page here for the items we need.
