Rhoda earned her Certificate in Nursing from Nsambya Hospital Nursing School in 2018. As is required in Uganda, she has completed two years of work in her field and now is able to study for her Diploma.
She currently works at a clinic associated with an orphanage. The work involves caring for the orphans and community outreach; traveling to villages to identify abnormalities, teaching nutrition and hygiene etc. She also treats HIV positive children within the clinic setting.

She is a mature 26-year-old student with a realistic vision of the world around her. Her goal is set up a clinic in her rural village to treat people for whom hospital access is extremely difficult. With a personal motto of “to love and serve”, it is the natural next step for this compassionate woman. The course of study would be 3 semesters to acquire the Diploma credential required. The establishment of a new clinic would be a huge task, but she has the desire to push her to that goal.

To help her with her Diploma studies, please contact BCP via our US phone number of 928-300-7550 or email using the contact link in the website. The costs would be determined by where she is accepted as a student; possibly $3,500 to $4,000 for the entire program.

The support could be an individual or a team. We are happy to talk to anyone interested in making her life’s-work goal a reality. Think of the lives that she will impact!.

This young man lost his sponsor due to financial problems within the sponsor’s family during the pandemic. He was a top student at Watoto Primary School and has proven to be a dedicated student during his S1 year at Bishop Comboni. He is hard-working and has survived the interrupted studies to graduate from S1 in July of 2021 and move on to S2 in August of 2021.

His mother, sister and 2 brothers are cheering him on. He wants to pursue Civil Engineering. His favorite subjects are Biology, Physics and Computers. He has the tenacity it takes to complete his secondary education. With a sponsor, he will have a future. You can be the shining light in this pandemic-marred story. A team or an individual sponsor will take him to independence and a productive life.

Derick will enter his S2 academic year in August of 2021. The new schedule is designed to bring the Ugandan schools back into their traditional calendar within 2 years. His graduating class at the primary school was challenged by the Counselor at Bishop Comboni to perform in Division 1 on their National Exams; a sponsor would be sought. He is the only graduating student who pulled off Division 1 scores from that school in 2019. He has shown good potential during his S1 year that was interrupted by the pandemic.

His goal is to be a doctor, which may change as he has a chance to see the myriad other professional options. He likes Biology, English and Math. He clearly has the tenacity to make the most of secondary education. As the oldest in his family, he will be a role model for his siblings as well as for the entire village. Derick has the potential and a sponsor will make his future bright. This young pioneer, from a school of low expectations, needs a sponsor to care and cheer him on!


You can make a huge difference in his life!

Mellen has graduated from secondary, having overcome some really difficult situations. Her family was torn apart by the death of her father. She had a serious medical condition in her senior year (A Levels-S6) which kept her from attending classes for a month. She is healthy now. Her friends coached her and she managed a very good score on her National Exams. Having met all these challenges, she now qualifies for Diploma study and would like to pursue Engineering.

She is tenacious and has won many battles so far. You can help her with this challenge by supporting her in a Diploma program. Entering with A Level credentials, this will probably be a 2 year program. Two years of study will let her be a productive, independent young woman. Since she is applying to a few schools and we do not know the outcome of applying for scholarship yet, please call to talk about her needs.

Aderah is an extremely good student. In her words, “my life is an amazing journey”. It began with a sponsorship in primary school, being sponsored through secondary and to the best Nursing School in Kampala. She graduated first in her class and was awarded a certificate of merit.

After earning a Nursing Certificate, Uganda has a mandatory work requirement. Aderah has completed working two years in a charity clinic which treats children in Buwundo. The next step will be to upgrade credentials to Diploma, allowing her to “improve the health quality of people around my community”.

Her passion for nursing just continues to grow. She is considering a major in General Medical Nursing or Radiology. Researching her options is consuming her hours away from work.

The Diploma course is one and one half years. A sponsor would allow her to devote all her time to her studies. This remarkable young woman is eager to serve the population of Uganda. You can help her!

Please contact Jan to learn specific financial requirements for Aderah.
