PARTNER WITH US TO RAISE FUNDS FOR
KAMWENGE SECONDARY AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOL IN UGANDA

Kamwenge is a predominantly rural district in Uganda, with one of the worst poverty levels in the country. KSVS is becoming a modern school set in Kamwenge which is training and graduating future Christian leaders who are already helping to transform Kamwenge. 

In March 2026, KSVS celebrated its 20th anniversary. Since its founding, this ride has helped build and sustain Kamwenge Secondary & Vocational School in Uganda - where there were once only open fields, now more than 1,500 students live and learn on a multi-building campus and pursue education in STEM, culinary arts, and vocational trades. 

Since 2014, these bike rides have raised over $700,000 for:

• Professional Teaching Kitchen and Dining Hall 

• STEM Center 

• Girls’ dorm

• 12-unit teachers’ residence

• Carpentry and Metalworking Shop

• Teacher salaries

This year your ride will support the teachers and staff who have come to rural Kamwenge to teach and mentor young leaders of the future.
