Answering the call
Simon and Nicola Neal, with their two children, moved to Uganda, following God’s call. With no plan but to love and build relationships, they began walking alongside slum communities, uncovering the beauty and strength within each person.
Hope Restored
They witnessed how poverty had stolen hope and dignity but saw God’s power to restore. Meeting immediate needs became a pathway to healing, showing people they were seen, valued, and loved.
Lives Transformed
As hope was restored, potential was unleashed. Freed from the weight of poverty, lives flourished, reflecting God’s purpose and transforming entire communities.

2009
After arriving, Nicola and Simon’s hearts were set on loving the community they had just joined. They soon connected with a group of local teenagers who gathered on a rubbish dump— and from that simple beginning, a Street Club was born.
This year also marked a significant moment: their first visit to a slum, where they launched their first project—filling a dangerous sewage hole to prevent drownings.
God’s strategy was clear and simple: “Just love them.
