Our Team in Uganda

We have assembled a great team in Uganda to do the continuing work of educating, encouraging, and empowering the people we have been called to help. After years of Kim and I hiring people in many positions, and fields we have learned to hire for integrity and coachability. Our first criteria for a team member at HHIM has always been to be a humble servant. We’ve made mistakes in the past but through focus and educating ourselves on the culture we have been able to assemble a quality team. We are so proud of the group we have assembled.

John Baguma

Uganda National Director

John is married to wife Jacqueline with 8 children and 7 grandchildren. They have lost 2 children from Malaria. He Pastors a Church called Church of the Cross. We met John on our first trip to Uganda in 2004 where he was struggling, spoke no English and had only a 1st grade education limiting his travel to mostly his village and Kingdom. We decided to help him financially and sent him for English classes so he could read and understand well enough to further educate himself.

After a few years of classes, we were able to communicate and he was growing, reading a study Bible, preaching outside his area, and doing God’s work in a new way. We realized that for the money we were paying for his classes we could hire a teacher. After lots of thought and prayer we did just that. In 2008 we had our first class of 13 students and began HHIM officially. John is the poster child for the educational work we continue to do there in Uganda. He now has preached in Rwanda, Tanzania, The DRC, and all over the country of Uganda where English is the common denominator.


Scovia Mbabazi

Ft Portal English and computer teacher

Scovia Mbabazi is working as English and Computer Teacher at HHIM. She hold a Masters and Bachelors degree in Public Health with rich experience in Computer knowledge and Skills. She has a passion for empowering adults where for the many years she was serving as a lecturer in higher institutions of learning and adult training centers like HHIM. She has worked with HHIM before (2011 to 2012), where she needed to leave the organization in 2012 to go and do her Masters degree in Tanzania and in December 2025 she was given a second chance to come and serve with us again.

Working with HHIM is given her a chance to care for her elderly mother and children given that HHIM is located in her home area. She is a single mother with 3 beautiful children :  d Katherine, Abraham and Azariah. Ages 16yrs, 11yrs and 10 months.  The salary received from HHIM will contribute  towards the well being of her Mother and children.

She is passionate about working and Empowering Pastors and other church leaders with English, computer knowledge, and skills. Most of these leaders did not get the opportunity to acquire formal education yet such leaders act as light to many.  Serving such a group helps them to compete in this world where technology is becoming the priority means of communication. She is glad that the group we serve has enthusiasm to learn and feels this has been a great missed opportunity in their lives. She is now mentoring one of the products of HHIM to work with us so that in case she has to leave the organization the organization goal does not be altered.  She said she is so grateful to our sponsors, President and Directors who have made it possible to see the organization run and do promise to always offer her best.


Molly Kansiime

Ft Portal Protege English and Computer

Molly holds a certificate in teaching. While teaching in a local Primary School Pastor John encouraged her to join HHIM as a  computer student, it exposed her to a special group of people. She always felt that if given a chance to serve that she would do it wholeheartedly because of her shared life experience with them.

She saw that many adults were lacking English and computer skills which made life  difficult for them.

With the mentorship and team spirit from the current Teacher and Director she is confident that she can offer the best to such a group.

She is a married woman with 3 beautiful children, 2 girls and a boy (Priscah, Praise and Allan). Priscah is 7 years, praise is 1 year and Allan is 11years.

Working with HHIM has helped the family to get proper  education for their  our children and benefit the family financially.

As a product of HHIM she has  promised to work hard to ensure that together with other team members they can  achieve the organization’s goals.


Sedrack Masaga

Kasese English teacher

Sadrack is married to Masereka Ruth (who was also instructing a class in hair design through HHIM Vocational training). They have 5 children, 4 boys, and one girl. They also care for 3 orphans, 2 girls and a boy. Sedrack Pastors at Power of God Church where we are blessed to be able to hold the English classes in our Kasese location. He started working for HHIM in 2016. He has added a second teaching location that he travels too where we minister to many students that are refugees from the DRC. This group struggles to communicate with the locals in the area as the language is new to them. So English is a common language to bridge the gap. But this is a difficult challenge for Sedrack but he loves the people and does it with a servants heart.


Solomon Kinto

Kasese Computer teacher

Solomon has been with HHIM since April of 2016. He is married to Biira Joviah and together they have 1 beautiful daughter.  Solomon’s father is a Pastor who graciously allows us to use his Church building for teaching computer literacy to the people there. Solomon has also been helpful to me with things like technology, purchasing, and maintaining computers and printers as well as audio video equipment as he has skills in those areas.
