The school was founded in the year 2012 and was established in the year 2013, the Month of January. It is a young but growing school with a Christian foundation. It was founded by the elders of Live Again Ministries under the leadership of Pastor Wabwire Ronald and Pastor Osinya Moses. It is a registered school by the Ministry of education and sports in Uganda. Was established with a mission of supporting vulnerable children who are not able to access education for one reason or the other. These range from street kids, homeless kids, orphans, children from child headed families and so on. We are now supporting 50 kids. We are happy to mention that all the 50 kids that are fully supported by the ministry in shalom, fall under that category. We however opened up the school to admission of other kids that could be enrolled but pay school tuition for the services they will attain while in shalom. We are glad that many parents and caretakers have loved the deliveries of the school and they are continuing to bring us kids. so your coming will expose you to a number of kids. The 50 kids are on a home based program during Holidays. that means that they have Center days; Saturday and Sunday where they meet and have fun, learn a number of things. But we have them full time during school days since they are on boarding program at our school. The school has 14 qualified teachers whom you will meet to have a great experience with the kids. we should say that these are few due to limited funds.
