What difference will you make?

Our charity currently offers a good and relatively affordable education each year to hundreds of disadvantaged rural students from Nursery up to Primary 7 level. Small regular individual donations has for long been one of the charity's main sources of funding, together with one-off donations from volunteers who are able to go out to Uganda and help at the school. However, volunteer numbers had not picked up to the level they were before COVID and also many of these village children can no longer afford even the small fees we do ask of them. Thus new funding grants are urgently needed and your potential contribution to our charity will avoid the need for us to exclude these children from essential education.   Those children who complete Primary 7 are then able to attend our Vocation Classes even if they cannot afford 4 years of traditional Senior School
