Additional classrooms needed at 4 growing schools!
Join us in helping these local schools accommodate their growing student population - a total of 768 children at present. Building these two additional classrooms at each of the four partner schools will do just that! We are so honored to partner with them to help make their dream of providing quality education in their districts a reality!
The expense for the two classrooms is $13,000 at each school. The picture below shows the mud classroom construction that we are replacing with brick construction.
A mud classroom at Kiibanga
In 2021 and 2022, TCI built a classroom block at each of the four Primary schools. Last year we visited the first one we constructed at Kanara in 2021 (photo below) and you see it in contrast with the mud classroom to the right.
In 20 years these children will be adults and will be transforming their communities. Education eradicates poverty!
How can you join us in these efforts?
Pray - Please pray with us for the hearts of the children who will attend and a “quick” building process so they are ready for the next school term to start.
Donate - Please consider a donation of any size in order to make this dream a reality.

The Impact of ONE - MOSES IMALANY, KARAMOJA 2024
This is the story of one man Moses Imalany- who as a child had vision and determination to strive to get an education and rise up out of the poverty of the village of Kachakatom, Karamoja.
During his medical training he became friends with with his fellow student Gilbert Beingana. Gilbert is now TCIs medical officer and Operations manager in Western Uganda.
After training, Moses returned to his home region as a clinical officer. In 2022 after two years of devastating drought, he led TCI to visit his home village to assess the state of malnutrition there and subsequently provide food for the village and nearby village of Lokorirot. From his assessment, this food relief spared at least 1000 people from death by starvation in these two villages.

Uganda’s Top Student
We have been so encouraged by the following report! All of our efforts to improve Alpha Omega School are bearing fruit - and many of you are part of this success story.
"By the time I completed primary level I had no hopes that I would also join secondary school because I am a poor orphan but by God's grace...."
Merab, now 20 years old, was supported by Covenant Mercies ( A US orphan support organization) through 6 years of high school at Alpha & Omega. Merab achieved the highest score in Economics and Mathematics in the whole of Uganda in the 2019 Advanced Certificate of Education! This is an amazing achievement and is a testimony to God's grace, her dedicated teachers, those who supported her and to all who have helped us make Alpha Omega the fruitful learning environment that it is. From that graduating class all 15 of the 15 students are in University now and one of the teachers, Oscar Mugumya was recognized as the second most effective Math teacher in Uganda. He is currently also TCI's Education officer.

A Personal Story from Isaac (TCI’s Operations Manager)
The following is a candid letter from our Operations Manager, Isaac Tuesday, as he recount the way he grew up. And now, he’s leading a significant effort to aid more than 5,000 receive food amidst a harsh famine!
A Letter from Isaac:
By age of seven I could go Digging with My For two tubers of cassava even bitter one we ate knowing diarrhea was a must. But at least something could be in our stomach at least live until the next day. Some days Mom came empty handed and could tell us to sleep not to be too hungry. She would then burst into tears and hide in her room in the hut . We could boil wild (amaranthus) and drink its water for survival. God fathered us and provided that we have been able to live to date. On dry plantain leaves we slept. Under leaking roof we dwelled. Here in karamoja, there is nothing edible is seen in the environment. What is seen is dry land , no water, green. Suffering can be seen from distance. The grand mothers and grand children can be seen resting on the ground with no hope. Grand mother and grand children are weak and unable to work. There no where to work for food in the neighbourhood. The previous season failed. Its the only season they have in the year. The children go hunting wild fruits and rats.
The very little children 1 to 5 years are sleeping with grand mothers helpless. Children are stunted and being crippled by malnutrition. The situation at household is haunting. Children need nutrients to meet their growth and development needs , the environment cannot provide. The parents have lost hope.
The people though weak, can be seen in TCIs sustainable effort doing faith gardens on the knees and grand mothers in the dust waiting for the time to die.
We always observe joy and great hope when TCI send food. You are surely providing for these helpless needy and impoverished starving souls. We have 500 families that house 5000 individuals who need your prayers to live.
Thanks for the continued support to keep 5000 people alive.
Over the past one year you have done a great job to keep these children alive and grand mothers able to see tomorrow. You have given these people hope of Christ.
We need food for these children to continue living. Otherwise they are risking going back into the 2022 acute starvation. You have fathered these souls, your Generosity has created a huge difference in these lives.
God bless you.
~ Isaac Tuesday (Operations Manager)
New “Piggy” Project in Western Uganda
Godfrey giving pigs to Kiibanga Community groups
Here is an update on the exciting accomplishments in Western Uganda. Our team there has been faithfully continuing the Paradigm Shift Training (PST) and has started a new “ Piggery Project” this year. TCI provides pigs and training to the Village Community Groups and they endeavor to work together to raise and multiply the pigs. Each group develops its own rules and regulations for caring for the pigs and sharing the pigs.
Godfrey and Pastor Stephen have now implemented this project in five villages. Overall so far, 12 groups from villages of Kiburara, Rwenyawawa, Kanara, Brainstorm and Jerusalem have already received two pigs each and 24 pigs have been given out so far. Here are group members from Kiibanga who have had Paradigm Shift Training. Godfrey tells us that they are "happy and ready for phase two piggery project."
Godfrey himself testifies to the great impact of PST training in his life. " I was someone who was hopeless but through Christ now there's hope. Mama Eda did much in my life through Paradigm Shift Training." He has his own piggery, banana plantation and shop now and says " Through Paradigm Shift Training in our communities, people are seriously changing. They are looking smart not only outwards but also in their mind sets. We thank God for provisions for our donors and our directors to continue to support PST training because we are seeing good results from it!! "
Are you interested in giving a pig in honor of someone this holiday season to bless someone in Uganda with sustainability. You can use this link: https://www.mightycause.com/donate/Transformed-Communities-International
This is the season of hope and we are so honored to be a part of their hope story.
Please watch this beautiful video. It exemplifies the impact you are making in the communities of Uganda through TCI.
THANK YOU - Food Relief Success!
Dear TCI friends,
Two weeks ago we sent out news of our need for A TOTAL of $20,000 to prevent many of our dear friends in Karamoja relapsing into a severe state of malnourishment. Three days later we had the money - in hand or promised! This past week our TCI Team purchased relief food and completed distribution!
"The more I serve these hungry and starving people and see their hopes being restored, the more I know of God" said Isaac a few days ago in Karamoja.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your very quick financial support and your prayers. But this is not the ONLY TIME!! We wouldn't have believed you if you had told us that, during the past year our partnership with ALL of you would be able to accomplish the following:
Deliver ten truckloads of food
Stop starvation-related deaths in 5000 people of this tribe & significantly reduce the number of severely malnourished people
Restore clean water to two villages with broken boreholes
Teach gardening techniques that sustainably provide food using hand-pumped groundwater
Inspire Karamojong men to lead in the gardening effort, despite their deep-seated cultural tradition of men not working
Witness lush, green vegetable gardens sprouting up in three villages
Encourage villagers to construct toilets for the first time ever
Share the hope of Jesus to this traditionally animist, unreached tribe see so many people responding to the hope of Jesus Christ in the midst of such hardship.
We never would have thought that our little organization was up to such an enormous task, especially that we would be able to manage all of this financially. And this is not including all the work that is going on in the schools and villages around Kiburara in Western Uganda. Next week we will send an update on that very active and important work.
BUT God has wrought each of these miracles through YOUR sacrificial donations and prayer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
With much appreciation and with much joy,
Frank and Sue
Failed Harvest in Karamoja
Dear Friends,
We are SO GRATEFUL to each of you for your generosity towards the beautiful souls in Karamoja, especially after having spent time in June getting to know them, seeing their courageous culture, and witnessing the effects of severe hunger first-hand! Frank and I were just reflecting on all the wonderful accomplishments in this past year.....
BUT THE HARVEST HAS FAILED and we have just received this video and letter from Isaac our team member who is daily with the local communities.
Isaac's Letter to you all:
When you move around Ugandan communities outside Karamoja you can see green vegetation, different foods like cassava, yams, banana plantations etc But in Karamoja you see an open land that is very dry with no thriving plants. Karamoja is an environment where hunger and starvation are the order of the day. We can all be hungry but starvation and death related to acute malnutrition can be prevented. It’s agony to die of starvation. It’s extreme suffering to depend on bitter herbs for survival. It’s difficult to imagine a child losing his or her life because they have lacked what to eat for several days. We can protect the future generations of Karamoja by caring for the little ones.
TCI Donors and Friends, you have saved lives. Helpless children staying with their helpless grandparents in extremely impoverished communities have been kept alive. God has used you in a way that is incredible, especially the journey of keeping the 5000 starving persons alive because of your generous donations that have made a huge difference.
Moroto had many severely acute malnourished children at the verge of death from complications of severe acute malnutrition by 2022. But I can testify that none of them have died in 2023 because you have been there for these voiceless innocent humans.This season is the season where people expected the harvest but drought has destroyed the sorghum and maize so that there is no grain.
Without your help we lose the battle, but with your support we can save lives as we step up the Food always in the home (FAITH) garden and other sustainable livelihood projects.
We applaud you for your continued support of those in dire need for food and nutritional care.
God bless you,Isaac
Appreciation from Karamoja
This video from Isaac is one of the most delightful thank-you videos we have ever received! Our dear friends in Karamoja are calling us the names they gave us when we visited their villages - Nakiru - (bringer of rain) and Apolaquan (father of the great white bull!). We wanted to share it with you because although we are the ones they know, their gratitude and joy is extended to all who made the food relief possible.
Reflections on Karamoja
Back in Kampala we reflected on our time with the marginalized Karamajong people of Moroto. Our hearts ached for them in their suffering but in the midst of it we experienced HOPE RISING in their hearts and ours.
We were welcomed so warmly by five different manyattas (villages) and have learned much about these beautiful people. Their culture and way of life has been completely upended by the cattle raiding, the disarmament, the bloodshed and the drought. The Karamajong are trying to find their way without cattle now. However, in the midst of this life and death situation we are catching glimpses of a MIGHTY COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION! The Karamajong are typically resistant to outside influence but Isaac and Gabriel have found favor and have been sharing Bible stories to communicate principles which are producing a paradigm shift in so many areas.
HOPE HAS REPLACED HOPELESSNESS AND RESIGNATION: Gabriel and Isaac have been tirelessly focused on teaching the people how to use the water from boreholes to grow vegetables to eat and to sell. We initially supplied watering cans and seeds - and now 183 households in three villages have embraced the training and made gardens! They are not just sitting around waiting to die but are working hard to plant and water by hand. It was so wonderful to see such joy and satisfaction on the faces of grandmothers, elders, young women, young men and children as they proudly showed us the results of their gardening efforts!
CULTURAL SHIFT is taking place. Traditionally, men protect the women and children and watch over the cattle, and DO NOT dig or garden. In every village it is men who are leading the gardening efforts and in one, fifteen men have gardens!!! This is a major shift for Karamajong warriors!
SUSTAINABILITY is emerging. Some are selling a portion of their vegetable crop and using the proceeds to buy more seed to replant their vegetables.
RECOVERY FROM MALNUTRITION: We shared the grief of this grandmother who lost most of her grandchildren due to starvation (see below) BUT we rejoiced to see so many children who would have certainly died were it not for the medical evaluations that Isaac and Gilbert had made and the provision of food and Plumpy’Nut.
SANITATION is improving. Ten months ago there were no latrines in any of the manyattas! In Kamera village there are now ten!!! We are hoping for this trend to spread to the other villages and result in better health and hygiene.
INCREASED DEMAND FOR TRAINING IN GARDENING: When we started this we did not know how open people would be to making gardens but 50 gardens were started because one man saw the 90 gardens of a neighboring village and begged for training. By the time Isaac and Gabriel reached his village they had already done all the digging and preparation and were waiting in anticipation! This is SO encouraging.
NEW BOREHOLES: Two of the villages where we have been delivering food do not have functional boreholes so they cannot make gardens. But we were greatly encouraged to discover that it may not cost much to fix the existing boreholes in one village. In the other, we were thrilled to find that a local entrepreneur had saved up for 5 years to drill a borehole there! It should be up and running soon. Gardens may begin shortly!
EAGERNESS TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS: In all the villages, it was an unexpected joy to see eagerness to hear about Jesus and to respond to His love with gratitude and singing. Because they are a story-telling culture, they love listening to Bible stories. The harvest is ripe but the workers are few. Join us in praying for all seeds sown to bring forth fruit!
This is a team effort and none of the above would have been accomplished without the support of so many. At this very moment our team is delivering ground corn and powdered milk for the 8th time to the five villages we visited and having just seen the urgent need, we are SO relieved.
Words can't express our gratitude to those who made this all possible.
On the Ground in Karamoja at last!!!
Dear friends,
We arrived in Karamoja last week days!! Here is a video that we made to give a history of our involvement in Karamoja. Please click on the link below.
Last week we visited Kamera Village. This village is huge and there are about 100 families each enclosed in thorn branch hedges with small, narrow entrances. Some of us nearly didn’t get through!
These are very interesting lovely people and they received us with such a wonderful welcome with much joy and dancing. They were so happy to welcome us inside their compounds and show us all the gardens that they have made under the instruction of Isaac and Gabriel who is a local Karamajong.
Young men are noticeably absent but the elders of the village are overseeing everything. They sit on the small carved stools that they carry around and remain a little distance from the women and children, but still protecting and guarding them. They received us very warmly, and also the message of Pastor Moses testimony. We prayed for many for healing, and Frank said that 60% of the people he prayed for were pointing to their tummy! It was probably empty.
We had thought that the people must be eating quite well because everything looks so green, but they have no mature crops. Every fireplace of every compound was cold with nothing cooking. One lady was drying the leaves of a local weed to eat and another very thin old woman was being fed some blood that they got from the Moroto slaughter house (see the picture below). Traditionally, the Karamajong eat blood and milk like the Maasai. However, in this village, due to all the problems with cattle raiding and the removal of all protective weapons by the government, the people have lost their livestock. They no longer have herds of cows or goats. Agriculture is their only resort.
They need food desperately. Please pray for funds to come in so that we can bring food next week. Please give what you are able. Please share this with anyone who may be interested in keeping this community alive and healthy. Isaac told us that the little girl in the blue dress would not be here today were it not for the food relief and Plumpy'nut.

The current crops will only be ready in August as long as rain continues. Their gardens are supplying some greens and vegetables, but they have no solid food like corn or sorghum to eat with them. For the past three days we have had rain here - there has been much rejoicing. Please pray for steady rainfall to continue.
They have given us all local names-Sue has been called "Nakiru"- one who brings rain.
Frank is called "Apa lokwan" which means the father of the White one (always meaning the largest big white bull) and
Moses is called "Lochap" which means the one who weeds or removes weeds.
With much appreciation for your partnership,
Frank and Sue - aka Apa lokwan and Nakiru
JOYFUL visit to the schools!
Dear TCI Friends,
There is nothing that compares with the exuberance and joy of Ugandan children dancing and singing!! In spite of their very humble circumstances they have an optimism and joy that is always infectious. We wish you could all experience it!
Visiting four primary schools in the past four days has strengthened our resolve to help these schools give over 500 resilient little ones an education that will help them on their life journey. We are SO VERY GRATEFUL for the generosity of donors that has enabled TCI to:
help the schools open their doors after an 18 month lockdown
help them register with the Dept of Education and register all the students
build a brick two-classroom school block for each of four schools
develop sound financial systems and provide desks
train teachers and help with salaries while the schools get on their feet
carry out health education and disease testing
train them in sustainable gardens and community programs
All these things are setting them up for success and sustainability. Please help us to continue to make a lasting impact in many lives. tcius.org/donate
God bless you,
Frank and Sue

Back In Uganda: Update from the field!
Dear TCI family,
Greetings from Uganda! We (Frank & Sue) arrived in Entebbe Uganda last Thursday from Israel and we have been on the move ever since! It is lovely to be back!
Our friend Craig Botha from South Africa joined us and took our TCI Uganda team through three solid days of highly successful Gospel training, team building, leadership development and strategic planning using the Strengthsfinder approach. Our team was inspired and refreshed.
We are so grateful for this amazing team. NOTHING would be accomplished without them - they are making a significant impact in the villages and primary schools.
This afternoon we had a wonderful time sharing with the 36 TCI sponsored students at Alpha Omega Secondary School. It was so good to see familiar faces, learn about the "family" they are becoming, get insight into their tragic lives and experience the gratefulness, joy and hope they have now. Thank you donors for giving them a chance in life! If anyone would like to join in their support go to: tcius.org/sponsor
We are SO VERY GRATEFUL to all who are supporting us!! Please pray for the next three weeks of our trip.
Blessings, Frank and Sue
The Young Generation leads the way..
The Young Generation are leading the way…
The young GENERATION in Karamoja is leading the way in providing a sustainable food source for the very FIRST TIME in this community! In the past, villagers have not responded to teaching on sustainable planting techniques, so this change in heart is AMAZING! Because of the drought there have been no crops to harvest but the children are enthusiastically making gardens and providing food for the families if there is a well nearby to draw water.
TO MAKE DONATIONS FOR SEEDS AND MORE WELLS -SELECT KARAMOJA ON THE DONATION PAGE Some villages are unable to begin gardens as there is no well nearby.
What an amazing month in Uganda!
New classroom with new desks!
Dear friends of TCI,
These have been an extremely busy couple of months and we are so grateful to the Lord and to you all for enabling us to accomplish so much. In Western Uganda, the Kiibanga primary classroom block was completed. The official “hand over ceremony" took place on February 27 with much rejoicing in the church, the local government and the community! Already the student enrollment has doubled which will be a great boost to the school. This little school will have a mighty future impact in this community. Thank you for your generosity which also enabled us to supply the school with 30 new desks!
In Eastern Uganda, there was also much rejoicing as we were able to once more take about 13 tons of food to the 5,000 starving and malnourished people in Karamoja. It is so wonderful to hear the grateful testimonies of mothers who had lost a number of children before we started taking food relief in August 2022. Since then, they tell us, they have lost none. Death from starvation has been stopped and rehabilitation of the severely malnourished is continuing.
Our team member Isaac is motivating and mobilizing the villagers to grow vegetables near functioning boreholes (wells). He has truly been guided by the Holy Spirit and the favor of God seems to be upon all that he is doing. There is a growing eagerness and a receptiveness to lessons from the Bible integrated with Paradigm shift principles. People are being mobilized to make gardens in an unprecedented way and currently 145 farmers from three different villages are making gardens. Longstanding barriers of suspicion and hostility are also breaking down between different villages and they are joining to pray and worship together under the same big tree which has never happened before!! We are excited about what the Lord is doing!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! None of this would have been possible without your generosity. PLEASE consider donating for THE NEXT FOOD RUN IN EARLY APRIL
God bless you all.
Student Sponsorship Opportunity!
Students with great potential-all they need is a hand up!
Education is gift. In the United States we are blessed with education that doesn’t cost us monthly. Education is also a tool that empowers and breaks the cycle of poverty by presenting opportunities for a future that without it was not an option. We have 35 students between the ages of 11-18 that are needing monthly sponsorship for their education. This is an amazing opportunity to provide quality education to teens that transforms their hopes and dreams into reality! What an opportunity to develop a future leader around the world.
What does this look like as a sponsor? $36 a month and every penny goes to the student. You will receive a biannual update about your student.

Famine Relief Phase 4 Update
The famine relief phase 4 is complete! Our team distributed 28,000 pounds of food to 540 families. During this effort our team assessed 308 people for malnutrition including some first time patients aswellas those those we are already monitoring and rehabilitating. 30 recoveries were assesed bringing the total number of people who have fully recovered to 67!! A total of 50 patients have improved markedly but are still under rehabilitation. We also registered a total of 40 newly diagnosed cases of severe acute malnutrition bringing the total of severely malnourished patients 103. These villagers are now under TCI treatment, monitoring and rehabilitation.
One of our Uganda team members, Isaac, who moved to Moroto, Karamoja reported the following:
“We want to thank God who is continuing to provide for His people to have hope to live and have a chance to thrive amidst the persistent dry spell and drought conditions. When we meet kids who had pot bellies and they have significantly improved, we are to thank God even more! The elderly are looking stronger than they were before.
The joy characterized by singing and dancing and melodies of the now hopeful elderly in their local languages significantly influenced our worship of God the provider. The wide smiles, the clapping, the laughter and musical expressions of the the people in Kamera and lokororiloti were so beautiful.
There is an outstanding rapport in the villages where we have distributed so far. At every village entrance handshakes are unavoidable with people expressing gratefulness for the food and most importantly that we remembered them.
Thank you for your support in making these efforts possible. What a privilege it is to distribute joy, along with food to those in need.
New FAITH Garden to kick off 2023!
Children are exited about growing vegetables!
We are so excited to share this update about a recent outreach. Pictured in this blog is a kitchen garden in a village around Moroto. It was the first garden to put up around Manyatas started on January 2nd!
There was a committed group of youth so we engaged them immediately! Pictured below you will see a group of people working hard to cultivate the ground in preparation for planting. Also pictured are people working with hoes after receiving FAITH Garden training, seeds, and watering cans. YOU make this partnership possible.
Upon returning to check on the gardens we were overjoyed to see that ALL THE SEEDS HAD GERMINATED. This was our hope as we provide training for the gardeners in sustainability practices! The seeds and watering cans that TCI provided have been put to good use.
We look forward to returning in the near future with more seeds and watering cans that are needed as this community is about 120 homes. Thank you for your support with transforming Uganda communities!
Transformation Continues!
Transformation at the most basic level continues. Meanwhile, back in western Uganda our team continues to work at our core values- to have transformed, healthy, empowered, food secure communities who take control of their lives and their futures. At the most basic level this is helping villagers provide food for their families.

Meanwhile, back in western Uganda our team continues to work at our core values- to have transformed, healthy, empowered, food secure communities who take control of their lives and their futures. At the most basic level this is helping villagers provide food for their families.
The goal of these FAITH Gardens is to produce food for the family all year round. This can be done at no cost or very low cost by making FAITH Gardens (which stands for Food Available in the Household) to produce vegetables and crops around the house. By utilizing seeds from present local crops, exchanging seeds with neighbors and sharing the produce from the gardens, solidarity is built in the community and the cost is kept low.
Below one of our cooperative groups from Paradigm Shift training are receiving chickens in Brainstorm!
After the training they form groups and then each one of them put some money in and they buy somebody chickens one months then the next month another one gets chickens until all of them have received chickens. What an amazing way to build up your neighbors and share the blessings with others. This training and partnership is helpful in our vision of Transforming communities!
Justine pictured below is inspecting the FAITH Gardens in Kanara Village with Pastor Philemon.
Thank you for partnering in making these gardens and the transforming of communities possible! It is making all the difference for so many families!
Medical Assessment & Assistance for the malnourished.
Gilbert and other team members were performing assessments for malnutrition. They used standard anthropometric tools such as the weighing scale, height and length measurement, middle upper upper circumference ( MUAC) and calculated the BMI.
Gilbert and other team members were performing assessments for malnutrition. They used standard anthropometric tools such as the weighing scale, height and length measurement, middle upper upper circumference ( MUAC) and calculated the BMI. Those who qualified after assessment were issued a a substance called Plumpy’nut which is effective in treating severely malnourished people. This is the package you see people “snacking” on in the pictures.
The assessment was welcomed by all. In total we assessed 402 people priority was given children, elderly, pregnant and lactating mothers.
Of these 109 children, 24 pregnant women and 17 elderly were severely malnourished while 100 people were at a risk of malnutrition.
Thankfully, all of the severely malnourished children and adults passed the appetite test. This means they were able to eat Plumpy’nut and finish it and their condition can be managed from their homes by eating Plumpy’nut until their nutrition status is normal.
From the words of one team member, “God has stood to fight for the hungry and starving in Karamoja and he is just using us as a means to reach them! Tears were running from my eyes seeing skin to bone.”
Thank you for partnering with us in making these assessments, purchase the Plumpy’nut, and make it possible to show love and care to the Karamoja people. We get to be a part of making a difference around the world!
