Our story

A Message from Michael Mugasha, Co-Founder of Lighthouse Farms International

Every child deserves the chance to learn and thrive. Since 2017, Lighthouse Farms and our generous community have supported students in Uganda all the way through completing university.

After financial hardships during COVID forced us to temporarily pause our efforts, we restarted our scholarship program this year — and the need is greater than ever. Many of these children dream of being the first in their families to attend secondary school, while others have parents facing serious illness who cannot afford their care or tuition.

Through the Lighthouse Scholarship, your support goes directly to the student you choose, and we keep you connected with updates on their progress. Beyond traditional academics, we also help to equip students with practical vocational skills like tailoring and jewelry making — giving them the tools to build a secure, independent future.

An appreciation message from Esther, a 2019 graduate.
