A structure like this Fort Portal, Uganda, triplex is easily rented. The church hopes to use income to cover the medical costs of its orphan population.
Living Spring Church does not desire to be dependent on Western support. As they survey the resources, opportunities and gifts God has already given them, Living Spring leaders have identified real estate as a pathway to increased self-sustainability. Located in a part of Uganda that has seen huge amounts of foreign investment in recent years, land and housing prices are on an upward trajectory. While the region has long been rich in tourism, the discovery of significant oil resources in Lake Albert is behind the improving infrastructure. A triplex, considered upper-middle class living in Uganda, would net enough income to cover the medical costs of the church’s orphan population, effectively removing reliance on Western support in this area and freeing those funds up for other investment.
