The objectives and aims of God is Good Africa (GIGA) are the prevention or relief of poverty, the advancement of religion and the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. The objectives will be met primarily by supporting Lighthill School in Kitgum, Uganda and in neighbouring states. GIGA fully provides for the educational and social needs at the school. School fees generally meet costs of employing teachers which include salaries and meals. This continues to be challenging in view of the poverty in the area and other cultural factors which mean parents frequently withdraw their children form education.
