The Vine Primary
The Vine Primary School will be a premiere school featuring an excellent staff of teachers, social workers, house-parents while providing a rigorous Christian curriculum. Our dream is to build and operate a high performing school where orphans and disadvantaged children can obtain a Christ-centered, quality education.
Although Uganda values education, the rising refugee population and the lack of funds for teachers has caused a significant problem in educating the youth.
Only 25% of Ugandan students go to high school, leaving most children little hope to rise above the crushing weight of poverty.
Most women in the villages can not read or write, and use a thumbprint to represent their names. The Vine takes a literacy curriculum into the villages and teaches women how to read, write, and perform basic math facts. A final exam is given at the end of the course and women leave the program as functionally literate adults.

Tailoring Vocational School
The Vine offers a 6 month certified tailoring program. Applicants are selected and trained by our skilled professionals as they learn to make shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, and purses. Once the program is complete students receive a certificate recognized by the government and they're ready to enter the workforce as a seamstress.
