"Our story is one of faith over fear and hope over despair"
- Jonathan & Immaculate Kamyuka, Founders and Executive Directors
When the world went into lockdown in 2020, Uganda's young people found themselves without a place to go for education and the end result was a staggering number of students dropping out of school. Jonathan and Immaculate Kamyuka began to see the vulnerable young people in their communities without opportunity for a brighter and hopeful future.
With their background in education and social work, the couple decided on a socio-economic approach. There was no guarantee that the Ugandan education system would recover from total shutdown. The Kamyukas asking themselves how they could be a part of the solution, wanted to provide the next best thing: a vocational school where students would learn a trade and skill that would empower them as they moved forward, and in doing so they would do more than just live, but have life in abundance. Life in abundance cannot only be achieved with employable skills - counseling for healing, hearing the gospel along with discipleship ensures a lifetime of hope, freedom and success.
With that in mind, Life House Uganda was born. Because of the remarkable efforts of Jonathan and Immaculate, as of 2025 Life House has grown to 3000+ graduates, and nearly 55 Ugandan employees - employing a blend of social workers, educational artisan staff, and program support in order to provide a strong foundation for their students' education and bright future.
Life House wouldn't be able to operate without their team of educators, social workers, and support staff. Life House now operates in both Kibuli and Wakiso, allowing them to offer even more educational resources to young people in Uganda.
