Our mission is to advance the education, health and well-being of pupils, teachers and communities associated with our three Ugandan schools.
We do this through providing teachers, clean water, brick buildings for classrooms, school meals, a boarding house, and large farming projects to enable self sufficiency.

Lady Grace Nursery School
We are very Grateful to Dr Paul Sherrard for sponsoring this new nursery school. The land is being cleared and building will start soon.
This means that we have only one classroom block left that needs a sponsor, this is the senior block at Lugala in the slums of Kampala which will cost £35,000
400,000 people die per yr of respiratory disease related to cooking smoke. Please help us to replace this school kitchen in the slums of Kampala so that we can stop deforestation, cut CO2 emissions and improve health.
The new school kitchen will be brick built with charcoal briquette ovens using waste charcoal dust. The cost of the kitchen is £13,500
We want to educate our children so that they take the technology home and have an even better effect on the environment.

Corona Virus hits Uganda
Uganda has been put into lockdown, which means that the poor have lost their source of income with no government back up as in UK. The schools and public transport are closed and food prices have risen.
We continue to support our teachers and communities but our fundraising efforts in the UK have been stopped by our lockdown.
twopointsixchallenge.co.uk is starting on April 26th, run by the London Marathon organisers in order to save the UK charity sector. We have joined in with this. The idea is to get people in lockdown to do something involving the number 2.6 or 26, get sponsors or donate. We have people doing things like easting 26 Yorkshire puddings, to walking 26 miles in restricted area over 5 days to do a walking marathon.
Please join in and give through www.uk.virginmoneygiving.com or through the donate button above.
You can offset your CO2 imprint by becoming a Kitchen Buddy. Simply go to the Donate page on this site to make a one off donation.
