Benedictine Vocational Training & Production Centre (BVTPC)
The BVTPC was established to empower our local community with life-changing skills. Today, many alumni testify to the trasnformation of their lives and villages.
Rooted in the Benedictine tradition of service, prayer, and work, the Centre equips young men and women with practical, market-relevant skills to build successful careers and contribute to their communities.
Widely known as Father John’s Palace, the Centre stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity in Eastern Uganda.
Equipping for Success
With support from the Association of Religious in Uganda (ARU), the previous graduates received essential toolkits, including sewing machines and carpentry, plumbing, and mechanical tools, to help them become job creators rather than seekers.
Expansion & Sustainability
Thanks to Father Sergi, the school has launched a poultry farm and dairy project. These provide nutrition for the students, while surplus sales support school operations. We also thank Pep, our volunteer and school patron, for sponsoring new uniforms for the school choir.
