Chemistry and Physics laboratory building update
By Katherine Yeagley | Africa Fellow
![]()
You are providing funds to build a Chemistry and Physics laboratory to complete the construction of Nyaka’s Vocational and Secondary School! These facilities will provide the equipment and space necessary for students to develop their practical skills and increase their knowledge in all matters STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Access to these facilities will set students up for success in secondary school and beyond.
With your continued support, students will continue learning and thriving and will have a competitive edge in Uganda’s crowded job market. Nyaka is already seen as a leader in technology and innovation-- we hosted our second annual Robotics Camp this year, giving 84 students from across the region the opportunity to learn essential skills like coding and website design. By expanding our STEM facilities, you are contributing to future camps and programming that will support even more students in the community!
When provided with the right resources and facilities, Nyaka students thrive. By continuing to fund the construction of these laboratories, YOU are ensuring that Nyaka students are receiving the best possible education. You are helping them to realize their full potential and to explore opportunities they might never have deemed possible. Thank you!

Nyaka students receiving Measles immunization
You provide access to healthcare services in your community year-round. You provide HIV/AIDS testing, immunizations, medicine, dental services, family planning, and much more. Providing health care services allows Nyaka children to grow and learn in a healthy environment. Could you imagine being sick, but not having access to healthcare to get better? You allow students and grandmothers to receive the medical help they need quickly at no cost to them.
Before you sent nurses into your schools to give immunization shots to students, many students were getting sick and missing days of school. Those immunizations resulted in students getting sick less and missing fewer days of school. Every year students and their guardians are tested for HIV, helping us to catch the virus early. When a child or grandmother tests positive, you allow them to receive treatment. Treatment to helps to slow down or stop HIV from progressing into AIDS and decreases the likeliness that they’ll spread it to others.
By continuing to providing healthcare, YOU are extending the lives of members in the community. Thank you!

Robotics rules the world

Students in the robotics club
In December, the Nyaka Robotics Club will be hosting its second robotics camp. Your gifts have allowed students the opportunity of exploring different parts of science in the Nyaka Robotics Club. This also allows students in your schools the chance to learn more about the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) field. The Nyaka Robotics Club teaches students many great skills including electrical wiring and computer programing. This club is important to the education to Nyaka students and gives them a leg up on students at other schools. In just a couple of years, more than 80% of future jobs in Uganda and worldwide will require some form of STEM education. The Nyaka Robotics Club prepares students for their future’s in science.
Because of your compassion, students can use their passion for STEM to help their community. Thank You!
Jackson has a new book 'Victory for my Village' coming out. To learn more about how to get your copy click HERE
Nyaka's new documentary 'VICTORS' is coming soon. This powerful documentary highlights EDJA's effort to open everyone's eyes and hearts to the most remote and powerful #metoo movement of our day and the fight against sexual violence in rural Uganda. You can click HERE to find a screening near you. If there is no scheduled screening near you, you can contact Nyaka to schedule a screening in your community.
