T wenty Christians in south-west Uganda, all recent converts from Islam, have received a crucial employment opportunity thanks to Barnabas-funded vocational training. Barnabas has funded costs to train the Muslim-background believers in soap-making. Whilst Uganda is 80% Christian, converts are often ejected from their families and dismissed from Muslim-owned businesses. Barnabas supports Ugandan ministries that provide converts with shelter, discipleship training, trauma counselling and vocational training, including soap-making. After training the new believers will be able to get jobs in a church-owned soap-making facility.
