HIS-Workshop-in-Action

This Hands in Service property, acquired in 1995, comprises industrial and commercial space that houses the Jubilee Workshop, a full service custom metal fabrication workshop employing HIS staff and apprentices in training. The workshop produces gates, doors, windows, water tanks, and a host of custom and repair work. Jubilee Workshop has been busy since 2007 fabricating gates, fences, water tanks, windows and doors to help establish New Eden and Opai Farms. In addition to the workshop, Jubilee Center leases space to other local businesses and ministries as a sustainable property management initiative.

Though the HIS mission leans toward outreach and development, ministering to those in crisis is a necessity in the midst of war, violence and drought. HIS is attentive to helping mobilize and facilitate other relief organizations that can help in this isolated region.

In serving the population in Northeastern Uganda, HIS does its best to facilitate and encourage other effective ministries in the region whenever possible, particularly in the area of peacemaking and biblical reconciliation, literacy, micro enterprise, youth outreach, women’s cooperative initiatives, sustainable agriculture development and rural village medical outreach among others.

Kapelebyong was established as a displaced persons refuge during the insurgency and subsequent violent cattle raids originating from Karamoja. Now 20 years later this displaced persons camp has a population of nearly 10,000 people. In 2005, Hands In Service, in partnership with a local commitee of leaders in Kapelebyong, agreed to build a secondary school for the education of youth who were growing up in Kapelebyong without any opportunity for secondary education and preparation for college.

Through the sacrificial giving of Hands in Service supporters and a dedicated Soroti staff, the Secondary school building was built and featured the first working light bulb in Kapelebyong as the result of a Solar lighting installation. Subsequently, teacher housing has been constructed and a soccer field has been added.

The school was named in honor of John Eliru, who faithfully served as Hands In Service Board of Trustee Chairman during the difficult years leading up to the insurgency. John was killed in an ambush in 1987 as he was returning from the final translation voice over work on the Jesus Film in which he spoke the part of Jesus in the Teso language. We miss him and rejoice that the John Eliru Memorial Secondary School carries the legacy of this remarkable educator and friend.
