Victory Africa Ministries (VAM)
Kabale, Uganda

Through homes for orphaned and street children and the nursery and primary school, as well as educational sponsorships through secondary school and post graduate courses of study, VAM provides education, room and board, and comprehensive social services to marginalized children and families. 

Additionally, VAM provides microenterprise training and start up funds for women heads of household. For just an average of  $200, you can help a woman start a sustainable agri-business venture and empower her with the means to adequately provide for her family.

NEW! Just recently, VAM launched a golf program for 30 students in VAM’s educational sponsorship program. These students are receiving regular golf instruction by a professional golfer and practice at a local golf club, and ultimately will field a golf team and compete in local and regional competitions. In addition to providing an outlet for physical activity, this unique program will provide valuable life skills, including self-confidence, discipline, teamwork and responsible leadership. 

All of these programs help break the cycle of poverty, uplift young people and create healthier families.

Educational Sponsorships
Maasai Lands, Kenya

Sponsor students through high school and, if possible,  advanced education. Currently, sponsors are supporting students, from backgrounds of abject poverty, in high school, nursing school and technical university and already seeing the results of transformed lives through education.

Access to education is the antidote to the cycle of poverty in marginalized communities. Unfortunately, education is not free in Kenya, and, for marginalized communities, the required tuition is an unsurmountable barrier. Educational sponsorships ranging from $350 to $790 per year, depending on the educational level, are a gamechanger for most young people. For our Maasai friend Ole Ronkei, an educational sponsorship from grade 5 through high school provided the academic foundation for pursuing an education at the University of Oregon and ultimately acquiring a PhD in Communication and a productive career in global development. To unleash a young person’s potential is the best investment possible.
