How We Serve in Uganda
From clean water to a safe home for rescued girls, every project flows from one calling: to show and share the love of Jesus Christ.
Women of God Shelter
Women of God Shelter is a safe haven, whose teachings are heavily influenced by the women in the Bible, for young girls rescued from sex trafficking. This shelter houses girls as young as 12 years old.
The girls are provided with a home, education at the local school, therapy, and — most importantly — they learn all about our Heavenly Father. They are able to heal and plan for a future they can call their own.
Sponsoring a young girl costs $30 a month, or $360 for a year. Sponsoring keeps her in school, and with an education gives her more opportunities for her future.

Water Wells
Depending where you are in Uganda, water can be very scarce. Greater Heights Missions is devoted to providing at least one water well each year — listening to God's direction for the best location.
"But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life." John 4:14
Construction
God has allowed us multiple opportunities to teach construction to the young men and women of Uganda. We have taught them to build desks for their school — kids tearful with gratitude. Another year, we taught high school age girls and boys how to build a crate, giving them the skills of using a hammer correctly and working as a team.
These construction projects give young boys and girls the confidence to use their hands. It's also important for society to see young girls being allowed to participate in these projects. These projects give us the opportunity to teach the patience, grace, and mercy that is our God.
Sanyuka Children's Ministry
Sanyuka is a word that means "Happy" — and that's exactly what this children's ministry is doing, making orphaned and abandoned children happy by taking them in, loving them well, and providing a nourishing upbringing, both physically and spiritually.
Sanyuka is run by a loving young man named Peter Muwambi, who was orphaned himself at age 13. After coming across two abandoned children in 2015 with no family to care for them, Peter took them in — and more children have come into his care since then. Today there are 25 children being cared for at Sanyuka, with nourishing meals, school fees and supplies, Bible study, church community, and a loving family provided by Peter, his wife, and their children.
Our Vision for Sanyuka
To grow into a larger school and eventually a home for more children — a place where life skills and trades are taught, blessing the local community and lifting more people out of poverty with the hope and purpose found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Current Need
We are building a support team to fund day-to-day living, school, and medical expenses for the children. The 2024 budget for Sanyuka is $28,400.
"Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter — when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?" Isaiah 58:7
Evangelism
Our Heavenly Father has guided our decisions, our mission trips, and our path. We strive to show the love of God during each of our trips by helping our brothers and sisters in Christ. God has blessed us so we can bless others with food, medicine, water, and education.
While we always represent God through our works, the most important thing we can do is tell people about our Jesus.
Leadership in the Field
Our board doesn't just direct from a distance — they travel, serve, and build relationships on the ground in Uganda.
