Established in 2007, Country Lights Ministries began its journey in Uganda as a vibrant dance crew and singing group, dedicated to the rhythms of pop and the melodies of country music. Little did we know that our humble beginnings would evolve into a profound mission, fueled by God’s divine favor and grace.
In the year 2010, a pivotal moment unfolded when we decided to extend our passion for music and dance into something greater, something purposeful. Thus, under the guiding hand of divine intervention, we embarked on a transformative path. We birthed a children’s ministry, a place where young hearts and talents would be nurtured, where education and spirituality would intertwine seamlessly.
At Country Lights Ministries, we believe in the power of youth and children to serve God through their unique talents. Our mission has grown from a simple dance crew into a dynamic non-profit organization, officially registered under number 10347. With unwavering commitment, we have set out to inspire, rescue, and empower vulnerable children and youth across the country.

- Education Opportunities: Education is the cornerstone of a brighter future. We provide access to quality education, empowering young minds to dream, learn, and achieve their potential.
- Talent Development: Through our roots in music and dance, we foster artistic growth, allowing talents to flourish and dreams to take flight.

But we are waiting to build a school to offer more education opportunities to vulnerable children. Building an orphanage Land has not been acquired and we are waiting to build the future home. Expand Organization offices premises. BRIEF BACKGROUND OF THE COUNTRY LIGHTS ACADEMY Over the past 6 years, the organization has been reaching out to Luwero district through missionary work. Luwero district is on the poorest districts in Uganda with 80% unemployed people leaving with their children. Research has been made and found that 75% of the families survive on one meal a day worth 1 dollar. The education of 78% of the children is this district is not favorable since most parents/ guardians are unemployed, hence unable to acquire excellent academic atmosphere schools in Uganda. In 2019, the organization came up with an idea of starting up an excellent Academic school Project of Primary and secondary in Luwero district that could avail free good educational provisions to vulnerable and orphan children and youth in this district. This idea came with the purpose of empowering and providing excellent free education to these children and youth since they are unable to be in schools that could avail good education due to the inability of finances to enable them be in such schools. Towards the end of 2020, The Board of Directors of Country Lights Uganda passed a resolution to start on this project in 2023. The project is start with a Primary school to minimize the rampant growth of uneducated vulnerable and orphan children due to the inability of their parents or guardians financially to meet the standards of quality education schools in Uganda. The Primary Country Lights Academy will educate three thousand children between the ages of five years to fifteen years i.e. from Primary one to Primary seven after its accomplishment. The Academy Primary project is to meet the quality standards of children and the first Phase will need Country Lights Uganda to raise $500,000. HOW TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE COUNTRY LIGHTS ACADEMY The main strategy for raising money for country lights academy is through reaching out to Donors, Well wishers and Applying for Grants. We are also grateful to our monthly sponsors for the continued monthly support towards children’s sponsorships.
