Our impact
The school currently serves over 300 children as of the end of term 2from Nursery to Primary Seven in Kibubu Nakasenyi Lwebitakuli Sembabule District . At community level, if every kid at our school is a representative of five community members in terms of impact, it implies that over 2900 lives have indirectly benefited from having a school in their reach. We have helped parents and/or the school community members plant over 40 acres of eucalyptus trees and about 10 acres for our school. This serves as a long term source of income and a remedy to climate change .
Other achievements include:
-
Retention is at 95% for all pupils who enroll at our school.
-
Created over 20 direct job for the Youth from School Community & over 50 indirect ones.
-
Established 12 permanent classrooms for a better conducive teaching learning processes.
But we do not stop there!

Access to drinking water from water containers
Currently our children during lunch break go to the nearest dam to collect the water into plastic containers and carry it for roughly 10 minuts back to school to secure drinking and cooking water for their lunch.
We would like to supply our school with additional water containers.
