Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Provide high quality education and care for very needy children ages 3 to 20 through our sister organization, Tree of Life Ministries and their schools: Mustard Seed Nursery, Primary and Secondary Schools, plus a post Mustard Seed program, 'Career Opportunity Pathways,' which supports two additional years of further practical education and training with the goal of helping students become self-sufficient and thus breaking the cycle of poverty.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Providing sponsorships for Mustard Seed students, teachers, and other staff, as well as funding programs that provide holistic care for the school community: health care, good nutrition, social welfare, economic sustainability. Networking with other organizations both in Africa and the U.S. to increase the impact of Tree of Life Ministries.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have a network of over 300 sponsors of children and staff who give on a yearly or monthly basis with a retention rate of 83%. We have board members with backgrounds in education, business, law, and social work who serve as volunteers both here in the U.S. and during frequent trips to Uganda. We consistently raise enough money through grants from foundations to give a base of support for operations as well as capital funds for school buildings and other assets in Lukaya, Uganda.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
*Each of the last 3 years, since Mustard Seed Secondary School has had an S-4 class to take the UCE, the school's results have been amount the very best in the Kalungu District.
*Each of the last 7 years, the results of the PLE (Primary 7 Leavers Exam) have also been outstanding.
*Students are weighed and measured by the school nurses at least once a year. It has been rare to find a Mustard Seed student not growing at a normal rate. Those who were identified were given extra attention and care, including extra food to take home, supplements, etc.
*Mustard Seed students have won competitions in Music, Dance and Drama, Sports, Chess, Education week, which includes debate, literature and poetry,
*Mustard Seed campuses are admired by all in the area and all who come to visit from the U.S. More than one visitor has called it 'and oasis.'
