We will do everything that we can to provide help for the needy in Uganda. But without the support of people like you, we will fall far short of those needs. Only with the support of those called to help the children can we hope to find success in our mission.
Please take a moment to read some of the stories of the children that we are working with.
Christian Efforts Against Poverty Uganda is an organization that was started by a former sponsored child of Compassion International. After finishing school and graduating the sponsorship program, Alex Munyantwari tried to help others to the end of his means. But the need was simply too great.
Alex spoke to his former sponsor, now friend, about the struggle with what was in his heart versus what his hands could do. His sponsor told a similar story. As a younger man, he realized that he, alone, could not help those who needed it. But he could advocate for them to create a network with others who, together, could change the world.
And that is exactly what we intend to do.
All over Uganda, there are children who go to school with no shoes, no paper, no pencils. There are children who drop out of school at the age of nine because a family member is injured or falls sick. There are children who have never tasted meat, never smelled soap, and never seen a book. And there are people, like you, who want to help them.
We bring together those who need help and those who will help. We are not the answer to the problem. We are simply the voice of the voiceless, calling to the ears of those who will not allow the problem to go unanswered.
Many years ago, someone took a stand on behalf of Alex Munyantwari, the founder of this organization. That person said that they would not allow Alex to fall away into simply doing the best he could do. That person decided that they would help Alex to be the best he could be. That person’s name was Budeaux and he was twelve years old. Alex continued to progress through school until the school fees became too much for his sponsor. Although Budeaux could no longer support Alex directly, he directed Alex to the Mother’s Union at Willowfield Parish Church who took on his school fees until the end of his senior schooling. When Alex was accepted into university, the Mother’s Union could no longer support him. This is when Dan Yleana Newton took over the sponsorship.
Over his life, Alex had three sponsors. Today, he still remembers each one of them gratefully.
We, as a people, will be judged by how we provide for our children; spiritually, mentally, and physically. Because we, as a people, will one day be replaced by our children.
Without us, there are children all over Uganda that will simply have to do the best they can. So the question remains: who are we if we simply stand aside and let that happen? The answer is simple: we will never let ourselves find out.
A child was walking down a beach. The tide had washed up thousands of starfish. The child was picking up starfish, as he walked, and putting them into his bucket.
A man walked up to him and asked, “Are you collecting all of those starfish?”
The child shook his head and answered, “No, sir. I’m putting them back into the ocean. If I don’t, they’ll die before the tide comes back in.”
The man looked down the beach at the expanse of stranded starfish. Then he looked down at the child and said, “Look how many there are. You think you can save all of them?”
The child picked up another starfish and held it up. He answered, “No, sir. But I can save this one.”
You can not save all of the poverty stricken children in Uganda. But you can save one. Please contact us to find out how.
Ceap Uganda and our school Providence Christian School plans and ensures the growth, development, rightful upbringing of orphaned and other vulnerable children, working hard to ensure that all the children reach at the highest desired levels of life with physical developments as well. Promoting their growth and development is a great assurance since it’s the clarified way of washing a way their long rusted sorrowful brains and in the process, inputting new positive ideas in them. Through our programs we hope to help children to reach their God given and desired potentials. We are glad to be partners with reunite cultures fund-reuniteculturesfund.org, reclaimed us-Reclimed.us, Fuquay Varina downtown rotary club- downtownfuquayvarinarotary.org, and Uganda Baptist seminary for training leaders in conjunction with south eastern Baptist theological seminary. we appreciate them greatly for the opportunity to train Pastor Alex Munyantwari who is now key in transforming lives in Kisoro Uganda through Africa discipleship network.
IT TAKES A TEAM RAISE A CHILD, JOIN US TODAY.
A sense of belonging is derived from the close bond between a child and a sponsor. Ceapu led by Pastor Alex Munyantwari a graduate from Uganda Baptist seminary in partnership with South eastern Baptist theological seminary in wake forest USA and Mama Winfred is where our roots take hold and from there, we grow, we are moulded within a unit, which prepare us for what we will experience in the world and how we react to the experiences, and that’s how close our family is like where we find refuge. From trusting that someone will pick us up when we fall.
We raise our ceapu children in such a way that we do not even give them a chance to think that where they are is final. We train them to trust God for a better future knowing that despite their circumstances, out there in the world, they are known, loved and cared for by a hope angel sent by God (A sponsor) some one will always be there for them as they experience the storms of life And besides the above, raising a child takes the heart of admitting the truth of standing in the feet of biological parents and showing the love of God to a child in need, Not only that but raising them also requires someone who is ready to do whatever it takes to help a child feel loved just like Pastor Alex and Mama Winfred as it’s said. Train a child the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it”- Proverbs 22:6 this is the reason we do what we do.
DEVELOP AND BUILD COMMUNITIES.
Does ceapu support your community? Our answer is yes. But we would love to hear from you too.
Ceapu doesn’t only take care of vulnerable children of one colour, religion, nationality, spiritual values but rather support all vulnerable people without discrimination by providing them with the little we have to better their wellbeing. And it’s always our pleasure since in all we do, love and support for our community is a paramount matter too. The reason we started Providence Christian school is to break the cycle of poverty that has engulfed families for generations. And without people like you, this can not be possible.

An average population age of just 16 years means that Uganda is disproportionately young. 30.1% of people live below the poverty line.
Civil war decimated one generation and AIDS decimated the next. Life expectancy has now risen to 63 years. However, poverty and limited access to health services mean that malaria, HIV/AIDS, TB and vaccine-preventable diseases are still key causes of illness and death in Uganda.
Civil conflict and the AIDS pandemic left many children growing up without parental care. Violence and corruption increase the level of the existing poverty, and the fragile economy struggles with high inflation. The effects of malaria and HIV/AIDS have a huge impact on many families in Kisoro Uganda. There has been woefully inadequate government investment in schools, medical care and social welfare, besides the government can not do every thing for the orphans and other people which explains the reason why we do what we do as a supplement to what the government does.
How is CEAPU & PCS helping children in poverty in Kisoro Uganda?
Ceapu has been helping children in poverty in Kisoro Uganda through its child sponsorship programme since the early its inception in 2012. We support almost 50 sponsored children in and around Kisoro. Outside of our child sponsorship programme, we provide education through providence Christian school and also Christian leadership training through Africa discipleship network.
Many of our children are orphans, or from AIDS-affected families, or are living in families barely able to provide a meal each day.
Education is such a key factor in helping vulnerable children, but education, especially in rural parts of Uganda, is hopelessly underfunded yet its only through quality education that we can surely break the continuous cycle of poverty.
Through child sponsorship we are:

Pastor Alex Munyantwari
Founding dorector.
According to ceapuganda director, although Uganda is a Sub-Saharan African country with one of the highest rates of poverty reduction, the country remains among the poorest in the world. Uganda lacks important non-monetary resources such as sufficient sanitation, access to electricity, health and well-being, education and nutrition. Families in Uganda are often large. With the lack of finances and resources, larger families are highly likely to fall below the poverty line. Poor health also reduces a family’s work productivity, causing poverty to be passed down through generations. There is a need for a feeding intervention at providence Christian school (a model Christian school run by ceapu0 to help children feel safe and study well. If any one any where would be willing to chip in a penny for ceapu feeding program that would be a big blessing to the entire program.
Uganda has one of the youngest and most rapidly growing populations in the world, with 48% of the population under the age of 15. The country receives influxes of refugees fleeing socio-political and military conflicts in its bordering neighbours of Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. The country’s western region lags developmentally behind the rest of the country as a result of long-term conflict of more than 20 years. This is caused by periodic natural disasters and unregulated environmental hazards combined with poverty and susceptibility to conflict, disease, and decreased agricultural outputs.

we are glad to announce that all donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent as required by the USA laws through our partner organizations Reunite cultures fund (RCF) formerly Rotary Childrens Funds
Uganda, an East Africa country, comprises of 21 million children, translating to 46%of the total population. Many of these children are trapped in poverty and are not able to access education. This is especially true with children from the Kisoro area who have been orphaned due to the aids pandemic and the constant wars in our neighboring countries of DRC and Rwanda especially the 1994 Genocide.
This situation has been made worse by Covid-19 pandemic, where some parents lost their business / jobs due to prolonged lockdown and the long closure of schools that exposed many children to abuse and exploitation. Many even lost their lives.
According to UNICEF, around 1 in 10 school children did not return to school in January 2022 after schools were closed for nearly two years.
Out of the 91% children that enroll for primary school, 53% complete primary and only 34% complete secondary school.
Our sponsorship program through Christian efforts against poverty supports children from poor and vulnerable backgrounds to enrol, keep in school and complete their education. We provide children with school fees and other school needs as well as supporting children and their families to becomes economically self reliant.
We focus on children from pre-school to higher institutions of learning – giving children a life time opportunity to support themselves, their families and the community where they leave. This year 2026 we will have one of our children graduate with a bachelor of social work and social administration from kabale university.
We can only do this with support of people like you – who commit to contribute monthly, termly or yearly to ensure a children enrol, stay in school and complete their education.

Alex Munyantwari:
“The Least of These”
Delivered from Poverty in Jesus’ Name Pastor Alex Munyantwari was born into extreme poverty in Kisoro District, near the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, in Uganda. His childhood was marked by hardship, illness, and hopelessness, yet his trust remained in the Lord.
As the third of eleven children, Alex faced deep challenges when his father left home to seek casual work in Kampala. With no income, his older brother and sister were forced to leave school. Alex continued his studies, but without financial support, completing his education seemed impossible.
Everything changed at age eight when he enrolled in a Compassion International-assisted child development center at a local church. Through that program, Alex received healthcare, quality education, and consistent love. That intervention marked the beginning of hope and restoration for both him and his family.
As hope grew, Alex excelled academically. After graduating, he was selected for Compassion’s Leadership Development Program, which provided him the opportunity to earn a university degree. This experience shaped the trajectory of his life and instilled in him a deep commitment to transformational change for individuals, communities, and nations.
Alex holds a Bachelor of Theology from Uganda Baptist Seminary and a Bachelor of Development Studies from Uganda Christian University, along with several leadership awards. He is passionately committed to theological training for pastors, discipleship, and leadership development for all believers. He is also a strong voice on the frontlines against poverty in developing countries, advocating that the Church must play a central role in breaking cycles of poverty.
Today, Alex is the Founder and Director of africa discipleship network
africadiscipleshipnetwork.org
Alex also runs an orphan Christian Efforts Against Poverty Uganda
A nonprofits that serve, equip, cares for, provides healthcare, education and feeding for orphans and other vulnerable children.
Alex lives in Kisoro, Uganda, with his wife, Winfred, and their four children: Elizabeth, Timothy, Bethel, and Esther.
Having compassion is essential for several reasons:
Personal Benefits
Reduces stress and anxiety: Compassion can calm the mind and body.
Increases happiness: Showing kindness and concern for others can release endorphins, also known as “feel-good” hormones.
Improves relationships: Compassion helps build stronger, more meaningful connections with others.
Social Benefits
Fosters empathy and understanding: Compassion encourages us to see things from another person’s perspective.
Promotes kindness and generosity: When we’re compassionate, we’re more likely to help those in need.
Creates a more supportive community: Compassion can bring people together and strengthen social bonds.
Moral and Ethical Benefits
Recognizes shared humanity: Compassion acknowledges that we all experience suffering and difficulties.
Encourages self-reflection and personal growth: Practicing compassion can help us develop a greater sense of self-awareness and empathy.
Fosters a sense of responsibility: Compassion motivates us to take action and make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Spiritual Benefits
Cultivates mindfulness and presence: Compassion encourages us to be fully present and engaged with others.
Deepens spiritual connections: Practicing compassion can help us feel more connected to a higher power or the universe.
Promotes inner peace and harmony: Compassion can bring a sense of calm and balance to our lives.
Overall, compassion is essential for building stronger, more meaningful relationships, fostering a sense of community, and promoting personal growth and well-being. This explains why we do what we do at Ceapu. Will you consider joining us in this mission today
Give to God, and He will give you also!
God is not a “Taker” but a “Giver.” Whatever we give to God, He will give it back to us “a good measure, pressed down shaken together and running over (Luke 6:38). When we give faithfully to him in our tithes and offerings, He promises to open the windows of Heaven upon our lives and pour out so much blessing that we won’t even have room to contain it (Malachi 3:10). Try it, it works because God is not a man that He should lie. If God were to lie for a moment, He would cease to be God because He would have no basis for righteousness.
There is something very extraordinary about giving generously to God. He looks down with great favor on generous givers. Scripture makes it clear that when we give generously to God, He will give generously back to us because God loves generous givers.
Generous giving comes out of a grateful heart, and that is what touches the heart of God. David recognized that God had been extremely gracious to him. God had elevated him from an unnoticed shepherd to the position of a king. He was now living in a cedar palace. Out of gratitude, he felt the need to build a house for the ark of God, which was being housed in a tent at the time. This decision was born out of pure gratitude to God. God was deeply touched.
So what came out of this generous desire? Several blessings:
First: God promised to make David like the names of the greatest men on all the earth. The fulfillment is borne out by the fact that thousands of years after the death of David, people are still being named after him! We constantly talk about how David defeated Goliath.
Second: God promised to subdue all his enemies before him. What a blessing!
Third: The LORD promised to build the house of David. This was more than a physical dwelling place. This referred to the legacy and prosperity of David! The truth is, “Except the LORD builds a house, and the laborers will be building in vain.” (Psalm 127:1) Do you want God to build your house? Then build His house first. Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and He will add all other things to you. (Matthew 6:33) He will build not just your physical home but your relationships, marriage, career, business, and even your reputation long after you are gone from the earth.
Fourth: God promised that His love would never depart from David’s house. Do you want a generational blessing of God’s love to follow your children? Then invest in building the house of God. Does this get you interested and get your attention? Well, try it. Build God’s house and God will surprise you with incredible favor. God will watch over His word to perform it in your life!
Father, we thank you for the opportunity to advance your kingdom’s agenda. Please help us put you first in all we do. Amen.
