To stay up-to-date on SHIM’s work in the islands, visit and “like” the SHIM Facebook page.

Interns visit the island and SHIM to serve others, gain practical experience in missions and other fields, and to witness and experience first-hand God’s work in this part of Uganda.

Students and staff of Rift Valley Academy annually visit Lingira Island to work on special projects at SHIM and at the island secondary school. An “RVAer” is shown with another SHIM visitor painting a school classroom.

Students of the University of Wisconsin-Madison have visited the island for the past five years to conduct research and spearhead service projects as part of the student-led TAWI organization (formerly EDGE).
