Fifty years of persecution and war has robbed an entire generation in the Nuba Mountains of education. Grace Secondary School, operated by the Diocese of Kadugli, plays a critical role in addressing that gap.

Grace is the only fully operational secondary school in a region of 2 million people. Students attending the school gain a solid education and learn about Jesus. Many from animist or Muslim families have come to faith in Christ and have helped lead their families to Him as well.

This past spring, Grace's first graduating class of 12 students took the national exam to graduate, and all but one passed with flying colors! Graduates speak of plans to become teachers, doctors, evangelists, accountants, and engineers to bring peace and progress to their communities. 

Since the formation of Pax Dei for Nuba in 2020, Grace School has been one of our top priorities. The school has grown from about 30 students and a handful of volunteer and untrained teachers to over 200 students with a staff of fully credentialed teachers today.

Over the next three years, Grace will grow to about 500 students as the school moves into a new permanent campus, funded through a generous grant from Relay Trust and Anglican Aid Australia. Pax Dei for Nuba will provide operational support for the next several years until it can become self-sustaining. 

Though students contribute $80/year toward their education (either with money or food from family farms), the actual cost is about $500/year. You can help support their education with 12 monthly donations of $42. In addition, as students move into the new school, Pax Dei for Nuba seeks an additional one-time outlay of $90,000 to provide textbooks, a library collection, computers, and laboratory equipment for the new campus.
