Project Report | Sep 1, 2025
Back to School update and a heartfelt Thank you!

By Rose Bugusu | Director

The school holidays are over, and our students have returned for a short academic session before they break again for the long holidays in November. Our national exam candidates — Grade 6 (Primary), Grade 9 (Junior Secondary) will remain in school to prepare and sit for their final exams.

We are pleased to report that the second semester was a great success. All students brought home their report cards, and the majority showed strong academic performance. This encouraging progress is thanks to your continued support. Because of you, our students remained in school and had everything they needed for both academic success and personal well-being.

We currently have 300 students across various grades, and we’re pleased to report that their fees have been paid on time. We experienced a smooth term with no incidents, no dropouts, and no absenteeism, a reflection of the commitment from both students and supporters like you.

During the recent school break, our students were actively engaged in sports. We hosted a soccer tournament for both girls and boys, and invited teams from the local community to participate. These events are not only fun, but they also provide mentorship, boost confidence, and help students grow their talents beyond the classroom.

As we mark 20 years of service to vulnerable children, we are filled with gratitude. Because of your partnership, many lives have been transformed. Former students who have completed university are now employed, supporting their families, and giving back to the community, a true ripple effect of your generosity.

However, the need continues to grow. Many orphaned and vulnerable children in our community are still waiting for an opportunity. By sharing the incredible impact of this work with your family and friends, you can help us expand our sponsorship network and reach even more children in need.

As we approach the end of the year, would you consider introducing a friend to our sponsorship program?

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. Together, we are changing lives.
