There are many awe-inspiring places to be found in Uganda, whether it’s the powerful Murchison falls, the wonderous and misty Virunga Volcanoes or the vast and wild planes of Kidepo, but there is one place which is awe-inspiring for wholly different reasons…

​

Kishigyeri Community Primary School offers hope where there is little. Here, children from the much discriminated against Batwa pygmy tribe and orphans of the AIDS epidemic are given a chance of a better life. The school offers free education to children that would otherwise be forced to work in the surrounding tea plantations.

​

Students with families are asked to contribute what they can, but this is often not enough to cover the cost of their education. Also, Kishigyeri is 8km from the next nearest school, so it offers a vital lifeline to the local community.

 

This truly is an amazing project, but where do we come in?

​

The school is almost entirely reliant on donations and as you can see from the photos is extremely basic. With your help, we hope to improve the facilities and the quality of education the students are receiving.
