Looking Back on 2025
Dear Friends of TCI,
As we look back and see all that God has done through TCI in 2025 and all of you who have stood with us, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. This year, because of your partnership, God has been at work in powerful ways:
Preserving the lives of more than 5,000 people in five Karamojong villages
Supporting four primary schools in Western Uganda
Continuing livelihood programs in both Western Uganda and Karamoja
Sponsoring 48 high school students in Western Uganda and 18 students in Karamoja
We are so deeply grateful to you for making this possible. While the numbers are remarkable, our operations manager in Karamoja, Isaac, recently drew our attention to something even more important: each individual life.
To us, the numbers inspire awe — but behind every number is a person created in God’s image, with dignity, value, and God-given potential. Because of your generosity, many of these lives have been preserved from death, and many others are being transformed through education.
Isaac reminded us of the fact that Moses was spared from death at the hand of Pharaoh, and Jesus was spared from death at the hand of Herod—and within those preserved lives were stories that changed the course of history. As we look into the faces of the children and adults you see here, we wonder what stories God is writing with these lives and how these lives will fulfill his purposes. We do know this: whatever they are,
you are part of every one of them.
As you consider your end-of-year giving, we invite you to prayerfully consider two key areas, always keeping the individual in mind:
Karamoja food relief — Each month, we are in urgent need of funds to continue providing life-sustaining food to the most vulnerable in Karamoja: grandmothers caring for many orphaned grandchildren.
School infrastructure in Western Uganda — We are seeking to complete much-needed classrooms at both Brainstorm School and Kiibanga School, as well as toilets at Kiibanga. These improvements would allow the schools to begin the new school year in February 2026 with safe and adequate facilities. Use the button below to contribute to Brainstorm School. (We will give you more information about Kiibanga next week and you can give to that project then.)
As we enter these final weeks of the year, we simply want to say THANK YOU for being the hands and feet of Jesus to the hungry, the weak, and the forgotten. From all the villages in Karamoja, from the children who are alive today, from those who are being educated and discovering their potential, and from our entire team — THANK YOU!
With much gratitude,
Frank and Sue and the TCI Team
