Our Story

Our Beginnings

Grow Christian School began in 2013 with a vision rooted in faith, compassion, and community.

After accepting Christ and stepping into full-time ministry, Anthony Owor felt a deep call to be a blessing to others—especially children. Having suffered greatly during his own school days, Anthony was burdened by the struggles of his generation, many of whom lacked access to quality education. He longed to bring this opportunity closer to the children in his village.

Anthony shared his dream of starting a Christian school with members of the community—and they responded with overwhelming support. With few resources, he began humbly: using papyrus mats to cover mud walls and iron sheets for the roof. In its first year, the school welcomed 148 children, a clear sign of how deeply this kind of education was needed.

Since then, by God’s provision and the generosity of Ugandan friends and financial sponsors from the United States—Grow Christian School has continued to grow. Today, the campus includes 10 classrooms across two sections:

  • Nursery Section: 3 classrooms

  • Primary Section: 7 classrooms

As of today, the school serves 496 students. Many of these children come from nearby villages where families are unable to afford tuition. Sponsorship and support from donors have made it possible for these students to receive a Christ-centered education regardless of financial means.

Ongoing Needs & Vision for the Future

While the school has come a long way, there is still much work to be done.

  • Basic infrastructure remains a challenge. A single latrine (restroom) currently serves nearly 500 students and teachers.

  • Access to clean water is still limited.

  • We currently need donor support to make these improvements possible.

  • You can check out our current list of needs on the Donate page.

Looking ahead, Anthony and the Grow team envision a self-sustaining school—one that no longer depends on foreign support but thrives with income through student tuition. To achieve this, the school hopes to:

  • Improve educational standards and facilities to attract students from both rural villages and urban areas.

  • Build dormitories to accommodate students who live farther away.

    Raise revenue through expanded enrollment, allowing local children to continue attending at a reduced cost while bringing in income from both urban and rural families who can afford tuition.
