House of Joy is a Christian organisation situated some 50 kilometres outside the Ugandan capital city of Kampala. It is a 6 kilometre drive into the bush from the nearest town, Kalagi and in the region of Kasala. There is currently limited access to clean water and food. House of Joy started when, at the behest of the local community, the charity’s founder, Tom Lewis (or Jaja Tom as the Ugandan people affectionately called him) led the way, constructing the first two classrooms of the current school on an initial one acre site. The first term in 2005 started with 56 children and 2 teachers.
