WHAT WE DO
No. 1 Education
It is our belief that education for all provides the best foundation for an equitable, prosperous and fair society. At the moment two of the three schools are based in temporary buildings.
Our goal is to build permanent nurseries and primary schools in all of the three villages of Nge Kidi, Paibwor and Putuke. Once this has been achieved, we will build similar schools in other surrounding villages.
PUTUKE NURSERY SCHOOL 2021
In 2019 we started construction of the new nursery school for Putuke.
The school is now finished and open. We just need to build a fence around the school grounds, finish the toilets and build a kitchen.
No. 2 Farming and Food
The villages we support are all farming communities. We provide seeds and training to the farmers, including tractor driving, developing forest gardens and farming as a business.
No. 3 Sport
Sport is an important part of life in the villages. All three communities have football and netball teams. This has made an immense difference to the people, building their confidence and enabling a team spirit to emerge.
No. 4 School Buildings
Our schools started in makeshift huts and under trees, with a blackboard. Now the schools are simple brick buildings - apart from Putuke where we have a new school building. Our goal is to build new schools in the other two villages - Paibwor and Nge Kidi
No. 5 The Future
We must continue to teach and feed the children so that they have access to a good diet and a good education. This will ultimately allow them to succeed and prosper in their lives. Their success will be the future of Uganda. It costs just £30 each day to feed all of our school children.

Developing partnerships, like with Seeds for Development, and working together is very important for the development of the region
Children are our main focus, we aim to educate and equip them for the future.
