A Marketplace for Voices
Our hope is that this platform will allow people in Africa to speak directly to an international audience. It was founded by Cornelius Schuster, pictured above. He has visited Uganda several times and posts essays on theology and church history. Other contributors produce essays and videos about topics that are important to them.
Our goal is to call attention to life in northern Uganda. When the site generates donations, we will fund development projects, such as paying our content creators and improving the quality of life for people in northern Uganda. Perhaps one day, the blog will grow into an NGO and we can start building schools and health centers.
