What We Do
Rock of Ages School

Rock of Ages Community School (ROA) is a nondenominational Christian school located in the village of Mbiko, Uganda. Hands4Uganda's (H4U) hope for ROA students is that they will learn of God's love and be given all the necessary tools to grow and thrive through their educational years and beyond. Mbiko is a small suburb of the second largest city in Uganda (Jinja) and sits near the source of the Nile River. Situated on a main highway that connects Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda, Mbiko has become known as a village of drug trade and prostitution. STI's, including AIDS, are very prevalent in the small village. Due to the high rate of prostitution in this area, many children come from single parent homes or are abandoned by their parents.
About 320 children, ranging from PK3 through Primary 7 currently attend ROA. In 2016 ROA had the privilege of graduating its first class of 17 students, transitioning them from P7 on to high school. Through sponsorships and donations, H4U is currently funding the continued education of each ROA graduate into their respective high school programs.

Sponsorship Program
The aim of the Hands4Uganda Sponsorship Program is to connect a caring sponsor to each student at Rock of Ages Community School (ROA). Your tax-deductible contribution of just $30 a month provides your sponsored child with a loving, faith-based education at ROA. Additionally, your sponsorship ensures a meal each day, access to clean water, medical care, and overall hope for a better future.

Secondary Program
We know that by providing an education for the children of Mbiko we can help them elevate their community from poverty to prosperity as they become the educated and confident leaders of tomorrow. As Rock of Ages Community School only hosts classes through Primary 7 we are dedicated to ensuring graduates may continue through their Secondary Education.
