2024 Year-End / Advent Appeal
As 2024 draws to a close, we reflect with gratitude on all that we have accomplished together at St. Thomas Aquinas College Erepi (STACE) in Uganda. Through your kindness and faith, our campus has grown tremendously, bringing life-changing opportunities to vulnerable youth and bringing a while new era of hope to a region marginalized for decades.
This year's accomplishments include
New Classroom Block and Teachers' Quarters: Completed with your support, alongside funding for an additional classroom and teachers' quarters.
Unprecedented sponsorship of 100 New Students: Offering education and hope to children in need.
Sustainable Growth on Campus: Expanding our farm, adding solar power, first phase of campus security and completing the new library.
National accreditation of our college as an Advance Level Boarding High School in just only four years of its existence making it the first to achieve this kind of milestone in the northern region of Uganda. It demonstrated the confidence the government of Uganda has in our school.
Dining Hall Planning: With full funding secured, we look forward to creating a welcoming space for students to gather, eat, and grow in community this coming academic year.
As we celebrate these milestones, we also look forward to welcoming a new class of students in February 2025. We invite you to join us in meeting their needs through year-end giving. These incoming students need essentials such as beds, mattresses, books, lab equipment, and sanitary pads to begin their educational journey with comfort and dignity.
In the spirit of Advent, we are reminded of God's call to give with generosity and compassion: "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God" (Hebrews 13:16). Your support not only meets these immediate needs but provides hope, opportunity, and a brighter future for these children.
Ways to Give
- One-Time Gift: Make a difference with a single contribution.
- Recurring Gift: Sustain support for students year-round.
- Required Minimum Distribution (RMD): Direct a portion of your IRA if you're 72 or older.
- Stock Transfer: Donating appreciated stock may offer tax benefits.
- Legacy Giving: Consider including E3 Africa in your estate plans.
Thank you for your faith, generosity, and for bringing hope this Advent season to every child we serve. With heartfelt gratitude,
Fr. Robert Aliunzi

How can I help? Pray for the orphaned and impoverished we seek to serve; Sponsor a Child in Need; Help Keep Our Students and Campus Safe by donating towards the purchase of the government required security camera.
Support E3 Africa's Mission
We are a faith-based non-profit committed to educating, enriching, and empowering the vulnerable children of Uganda. Join us in our mission to change the world for better.
Sponsor a Child
Sponsoring a child is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Sharing a little goes a long way in a country like Uganda. For the same cost of dinner and movie for two in the United States, you can feed, clothe, and educate a child for a month. It may seem like a cliché these days, but you can indeed change a child’s life.
Donate to Educational Projects
We are always growing and adding additional projects.
Student Desk Drive
The Ugandan Government now requires that students are seated in individual desks to complete all government-mandated testing. Currently our boarding school for the orphaned and impoverished children in the region only have access to tabled classroom seating.
Teachers' Quarters
Houses 6 teachers so that they may provide 24/7 teacher presence, consistency & additional security for children on campus. Attracts high quality teachers as commuting is a challenge.
Block of Classrooms
We are expanding, our students need addition space. Help is needed with funding the construction and money for desks, classroom furnishings, educational supplies for 100 students.
Give a Gift to our School
Purchase needed items in support of our school that serves to educate, empower and enrich the orphaned and impoverished children living in the poverty stricken regions of Uganda. Choose from farming equipment, cows, goats, and chickens!
