A Strong Start for Uganda’s Children

Providing young children in rural Uganda with Christ-centered early education to prepare them for a bright future.

What is New Beginnings?

New Beginnings Nursery Preschool is a Christ-centered, quality preschool serving the community of Bulesa Uganda. The region of Bulesa is one of the poorest-performing districts in all of Uganda. Mama Shelley and her team have prayed over and prepared a place where little lives will be transformed and flourish in a learning environment that provides a brighter future for the next generation.  Because of God’s goodness and faithfulness, New Beginnings offers a safe place for preschoolers to play, an amazing learning environment full of learning aids and educational resources, and 2 meals a day (breakfast and lunch). 

With open hands, surrendered hearts, and feet willing to go, the dream for this preschool has finally come true.  We are excited to be a part of changing the narrative for these little lives.  An African proverb says, “A child is what you put into him.”  Through this Christ-centered learning experience, our preschoolers will receive an excellent foundation of education and faith-based learning that will hopefully impact their lives for generations to come.  

Why Early Education Matters

Early childhood education lays the foundation for a child’s future development and success. In Uganda, many children in rural areas lack access to quality preschool programs, which puts them at a disadvantage before they even begin primary school. At Hope58, our preschool program is designed to give children in these communities a strong start, combining educational fundamentals with a nurturing, Christ-centered environment. Our program equips children not only with academic skills but also with spiritual and social development to prepare them for a bright future.

Support the Preschool

In addition to sponsoring children to attend, there are other ways to support New Beginnings Preschool. The school is in a constant state of growth which means more of nearly everything you can imagine. More books, more curriculum, more craft supplies, more tables, more chairs, more playground equipment. You get the idea. Regular support in addition to sponsorships goes a long way to meet the ever-growing needs of the ministry. Below are some general options for supporting the preschool before we have specific sponsorship available in January.
