Our History
Ebenezer Global is a non-profit organization operating under Help the Least of These and was officially established in the year 2018. It started as a servant leadership training conference in Bidi Bidi in the year 2017, and has now expanded to an organization that provides services to refugees, individuals, and communities affected by war, poverty, disease, and famine. Ebenezer Global is located along Iyete market road (300m) from the main road in Bidi Bidi zone one. |
Our Mission
Ebenezer Global exists to provide holistic care to refugees and the host community through leadership and skills training so they can excel and become change-agents in their communities. |
Our Objectives
|
○ Church Development
■ Pastor Training
Most of the pastors in the refugee settlement did not go to seminary school. The pastor’s training program at Ebenezer Global, in partnership with DiscipleHub, will provide Biblical courses on various topics, themes, and degrees of difficulty - all without having to acquire books and other physical materials. Through an extensive Biblical course library, pastors will examine religious scriptures, and the biblical implications of spiritual devotion, as a foundation for Christian belief and practice by studying Biblical history
● Soccer Academy
○ In 2019, a missionary team from Memphis TN, Texas, and Uganda visited Ebenezer Global and part of the mission work was organizing a four-day soccer training camp. This was so impactful that it expanded to what we now call the Soccer Academy Program. This program focuses on bringing together boys and girls from different tribes and denominations, and mentoring and teaching them the word of God. These students come together weekly to have soccer training and Bible Studies, and on Saturdays go into the community to serve the vulnerable population (the widows, orphans, and disabled).
○ The soccer academy consists of a Boys and girls teams between the ages of 11 and 25 years of age:
■ Boys Senior Team (18 to 25 years old): 35
■ Boys Junior Team (11 to 17 years old): 35
Girls Team: 24
○ Soap Making
■ Ebenezer Global provides a one-month training on liquid soap making to help individuals start their own soap making business. We provide the raw material and training at an affordable price.
○ Hair Dressing and Tailoring
■ In the refugee settlement, there are a lot of young girls who drop out of school due to teenage pregnancy and do not get an opportunity to further their education. Ebenezer Global started a hair dressing and tailoring program to offer these girls skills to empower them to become self-sufficient. The training lasts for 9 months and entails:
● Hair Dressing:
○ Shampoo and Conditioning
○ Hair Relaxing
○ Braids
○ Hair Cutting
○ Pedicure/Manicure
○ Make Up
● Tailoring:

Educational Empowerment
○ Computer Literacy
■ A lot of refugee students graduate from high school without computer skills because they do not have access to computers; and computer classes are not included in their high school curriculum. This has presented a need for Ebenezer Global to start a Computer Literacy Program to help support these students. In 2020, Ebenezer Global started a computer course with 35 students, and the number continues to grow. We have high school students, adults, and church leaders from the community enrolled in the course.
■ The computer course is for 3 months and each graduating student is awarded a certificate. The course entails:
● Introduction to Computer
● Microsoft Word
● Microsoft Excel
● Microsoft PowerPoint
● Microsoft Publisher
