Ugandan Schools

Schools in Uganda face huge challenges due to their lack of facilities. This makes it far harder for the children to learn and for the teachers to teach to a reasonable standard. Ugandan schools are often only half built, without textbooks or any kind of teaching aids beyond a blackboard to help stimulate the children's minds. If a school does improve its facilities, it also has to raise its fees in order to cover the improvement costs. This of course means that fewer families in the community can then afford to send their children to the school to make use of the better facilities. If the money for the improvements comes from an outside source, the school does not need to raise its prices to compensate for them, Resulting in a better education remains more affordable for all;

It is our aim to raise as much money as possible before travelling to Uganda to make a big difference to the schools we visit.
