AsOne Ministries — Q2 in Review

Jul 11

People, Progress, & Purpose

Letter from the CEO

For those who don’t know, we love the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and we’ve been working with the team at mpact3 for four years now. As they say, “we live in a ninety-day world” — where every 90 days we gather to set clear goals, define quarterly priorities, and take time to reflect on where we’ve been and what’s ahead. This process has brought clarity and accountability across our team, especially within our programs in Uganda.

Today, we’re more focused than ever: guided by a clear vision, the right data, and the right people driving this movement of Ugandans empowering Ugandans.

We hope you enjoy reading this update — your generosity is fueling a model rooted in self-sustainability, Ugandan leadership, and holistic, Christ-centered impact.

No matter how you may be connected to this work, thank you for your faithfulness in advancing AsOne’s mission.

Andrew DeVaney

Founder & CEO

Executive Summary

As many of you know, our work is anchored in three key goals we believe are essential to fulfilling our mission: financial sustainability, effective impact, and deep spiritual transformation. Each one plays a critical role as we continue building our model across Uganda.

Year-to-date, AsOne Ministries Uganda is 85% operational self-sustaining (OSS). While there’s still progress to be made, this is a strong indicator that we’re moving steadily toward our goal of reducing reliance on outside subsidies for program operations. Revenue in Uganda is generated through four primary streams: school tuition, healthcare fee-for-service, and the sale of produce, products, and services. This percentage reflects all local operating costs — from administrative salaries and utilities, chalk and reagents, to wiper fluid and oil changes. We’re dedicated to creating a model of financial viability to Christ-centered service delivery to rural communities.

Over the past three years, our Uganda-based revenue has nearly tripled and is on track to surpass $1M in earned revenue for the first time, below you are able to see our Uganda team’s operating performance over the last 6 months. This model of earned revenue is now powering a team of over 400 Ugandan staff who are serving thousands of people across 7 locations.

Those familiar with our work know we’re building the plane while we fly it. We have proof of concept communities that will attain 100%+ sustainability, but others that haven’t been able to accomplish that target. At the same time, we’re applying what we’ve learned — along with the resources you’ve generously invested — to expand into new districts across Uganda. Our goal is to balance these important objectives of financial sustainability (which we ultimately believe means durable services), effective impact (spiritual and physical), and expanding reach into new locations.

In this update you’ll read stories of people, progress on expansion, and demonstration of our clear purpose and mission being lived out every day.

What We’re Learning

Last year, we had the opportunity to work with the team at ImpactBuilder to make AsOne’s monitoring and evaluation processes even more effective and efficient. We're now gaining even clearer insights into the experiences of our beneficiaries and customers in Uganda — and learning a lot along the way.

In Quarter 2, we surveyed parents of students across our schools, asking for feedback on how we are serving their students. Here’s what we heard:

4.8 (out of 5): Average rating of AsOne’s educational quality

4.7 (out of 5): Average rating of AsOne’s staff relationship with students’ families
4.5 (out of 5): Likelihood of parents recommending AsOne schools to others

We’re grateful for a team that works closely with the parents who trust us with their children’s education. During this survey, we heard quotes from parents such as:

“We are proud to have been blessed with such services offered by AsOne Ministries.”

“AsOne is a very good school that has come to help our children get a better education at a fair price. I appreciate it as a parent.”

We also have given every patient at our Health Centers the chance to give us formal feedback on how we’re doing. Here’s what we’re learning from them:

92% rate staff quality “above average”

88% rate availability of medicine “above average”
84% rate the timeliness of service “above average”
83% rate the facility quality “above average”

All of our Monitoring and Evaluation work serves the purpose of testing the validity of our Theory of Change, ensuring that our programs are as effective as possible in bringing access to quality social services to rural Ugandan communities.

Meet Moses. After months of searching for answers, Moses finally found compassionate care and a clear diagnosis at the new AsOne Health Center in Serere. His story is a powerful reminder of the impact local, affordable healthcare can have on individuals and entire communities.

What Our Team in Uganda is Saying

In addition to serving program beneficiaries, a core part of our sustainability strategy is local leaders running and leading AsOne’s programs. That’s why we aim to create a compelling, growth-oriented work experience—helping every team member grow in skill, leadership, and impact. We recently surveyed our entire Ugandan staff to see how we’re doing. Here’s what we heard:

87% of employees are currently growing in their leadership capacity

86% feel comfortable bringing their views and opinions to the table
87% are likely to recommend AsOne as an employer to others

Quotes we heard from our employees include:

“AsOne is the ‘backbone’ of our community’s development.”

“AsOne is an ‘unquenched light’ in our community. It is a giver of hope and livelihood.”

“AsOne has brought development to the village.”

It’s encouraging to see team members recognize and take pride in the work they are part of: a Ugandan-led movement of holistic Christ-centered change.

Expansion Updates

Our three-year strategic plan is focused on expanding AsOne’s work from 5 to 10 locations over the course of the next 3 years. Led by our Director of Expansion, Jackson Oketcho, the team in Uganda is already off to an exciting start:

Land for AsOne High School in Luuka and Serere Districts was acquired

We’re excited to announce that we will be starting construction on two new high schools in the communities of Serere & Luuka. With strong local demand for quality education, we’re proud to partner with these communities to meet this need. The new campuses are planned to open in January 2027.

Pallisa School and Health Center construction are halfway there!

Thanks to the incredible generosity and philanthropic investment of our AsOne community, construction is now halfway there and will open January 2026!

AsOne High School ‘A Level’ Campus – Namayemba

Thanks to the help of our friends at Vantage Point Solutions — AsOne High School - Namayemba is expanding! With a full campus of 650 students, and new incoming P7 classes coming, we’ve expanded to add a separate campus that will be dedicated to our S5 & S6 classes. This new site will focus on university preparation and feature unique programs like a driving school. Since the original buildings have blue roofs, we kept the theme—so the students proudly call it the “Blue Campus!”

Team Members

Hear from some of our team members in Uganda!

Teddy Awor

“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve with AsOne Ministries. As the Human Resource Officer at AsOne, I oversee recruitment, staff welfare, and organizational compliance. My goal is to create a healthy work environment that aligns with our mission. In this position, I serve both the staff and the wider community by promoting a workplace culture based on Christian values. Here, everyone is supported to grow, serve, and thrive in their positions. Through this role, I help build teams that are not only skilled but also spiritually dedicated to the overall mission of AsOne Ministries.”

Bonneventure Kadunga

“My name is Bonneventure Kadunga, the Clinical Officer with AsOne Healing Grace Medical Center Luuka. Being born in Luuka and passionate about serving our local people, AsOne has given me a platform to care for our people with the various ailments that are prevalent in our community. I thank AsOne for empowering me with the opportunity, and tools to reach our community.”

Francis Waiswa

“I am Francis Waiswa, Community Director for Pallisa Community. I lead all community operations and collaborate with every AsOne department in Pallisa to ensure smooth financial management, strong organizational systems, effective program outcomes, efficient implementation, and full adherence to AsOne policies. This job has helped me connect with all people including community members, construction teams, and local leaders. This allows me to serve people from all walks of life in the Pallisa community.”

Joet Nyosi

“As Head Teacher at AsOne High School, I serve a diverse group of stakeholders—including parents, students, teachers—and coordinate closely with Uganda’s Ministry of Education and Sports. My role has enabled me to instill hope not only to the students and teachers, but also to parents. I also coordinate the daily activities in school, which gives me an opportunity to solve daily challenges for both teachers and learners. My heart is filled with joy and gratitude for the role I have with AsOne, which enables me to serve my community diligently.”

Looking Ahead

Quarter 3 brings several exciting and critical opportunities for us as we focus on delivering high-quality products and services to rural communities in Uganda.

Program Operations & Sustainability:

Education: In Q3 we will transition into Term III, where our P7, S4, and S6 students will all sit for their national examinations. Our success in these exams plays a pivotal role in demand for AsOne’s services.
Enterprise: This year, in Mayuge, we opened the AsOne Grain Mill, which recently passed inspections with the Uganda National Bureau of Standards and also had its first profitable months. We are excited to see the ways this increases market access for farmers and helps drive sustainability for AsOne.
Healthcare: Luuka District just signed a new MOU with the Ministry of Health to start a collaborative partnership to work on district-level health planning and coordination as well as immunization programs for the district.
Agriculture: In Q3, our teams will begin harvesting their first season’s crops. The earnings from these crops contribute towards AsOne’s earned revenue model. We will also begin our farmer training program in coordination with FIPS-Africa to begin working alongside smallholder farmers in Luuka & Serere.

Celebrating 10 Years

This October and November, we’re celebrating 10 years of impact in Uganda. It all began in 2015 when Andrew DeVaney and Henry Iwumbwe embarked on this journey together. Will you join us in celebrating how God has worked through AsOne—and through many of you—to make this possible?
