Our Story
According to Genesis 12:1-2, God told Abraham to “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you . . . and I will bless you, and you will be a blessing.” In 2004, Brian heeded a similar call when he left his country, his people and his father’s household to join the United States Peace Corps as a volunteer. At the time, Brian had no idea to which country God would be taking him, but in June 2004 he landed in Uganda and was eventually placed in a rural area near Pallisa Town in Eastern Uganda.
Back to school
By providing access to education, healthcare, and basic needs, Shine International is helping to build a brighter future for the children of Tororo district. Through their dedication and commitment, Shine International is showing that with the right resources and support, vulnerable children can thrive and achieve their dreams. Despite all these efforts, there are still more children who need support.
Covid’19 had adverse effects on the communities we serve.
Together, we united to help people in need.

Stories
Helping out the family of Odongo Robert
With money from the 5K that Shine International was blessed to receive, we were able to help out the family of Odongo Robert. The man with disabilities, his hand can type like no man’s business yet he cannot walk as he was born with deformed legs.
Shine International is blessed with the opportunity to support his kids with school fees. But this time he got his own printer, scanner, and a photo copier to support his family through his secretarial skills. Above are some pictures of his wife and 4 kids.
Also, we were able to pay tuition for Tereza who is a total orphan with no parents or siblings as both her parents and her younger brother died of Aids and left Tereza alone when she was just 10 years old. With your support we were able to buy 2 pieces of fabric for her apprenticeship and pay her tuition as she continues in her tailoring course.
God bless you all for your support.
