Musima Village · Jinja City · Uganda

Every child is a top notch mind.

Some of them just need a way to stay in school. We support 50 children in our community with meals, health care, mentorship, someone to talk to, and a safe place to grow.

Who we are here for
50

children. Each one eager to learn.

Aged 2 to 14, from Musima Village and neighbouring communities. Many families cannot afford school fees, uniforms or books, and some days there is no food. Not statistics: children with names, talents and dreams.

Where it began

It started with a simple, urgent question.

After COVID-19 took away their families’ income, children in Musima Village began leaving school. Fees were out of reach. So were books. Often there was no lunch. Some lost hope before they found out what they could be.

On 10 April 2024 we decided to stand beside them. A small community initiative became a registered foundation, still small, still volunteer-led, and fully committed.

What we do

A child is more than a classroom.

So we look after the whole child: the lunch and the check-up, the worries at home, the family and the village around them.

    Ready to learn.

    Mentors and scholastic materials today, with school fees our next goal once funding allows.

Brave classrooms · 2026

1,000 students. One honest conversation.

Between 1 April and 10 June 2026 we took interactive workshops on teenage pregnancy to five secondary schools in Bugweri and Mayuge. It was our first work outside Jinja City.

In their words

What they told us.

“I learned that teenage pregnancy can end my education. I want to finish school and become a teacher.”
Student, Kigandalo Senior Secondary
“Before this workshop, I did not know how to protect myself. Now I can talk to my friends about it.”
Student, Busembatia Secondary
“This campaign opened a door for our students. They are asking questions they were afraid to ask before.”

The road ahead

A school of our own, that pays its own way.

Four acres, a nursery, then a primary school. Fee-paying families will help fund free places for disadvantaged children, and food crops will feed them.

2027

Land

Acquire about 4 acres, starting with a feasibility study.

2028

Nursery

The nursery opens, and school outreach grows to 3,000 students.

2029

Primary school

A social enterprise that keeps the doors open for generations.

Small, steady, real
$40

a month takes care of one child.

Food, clothing, basic medical care, hygiene supplies and other welfare cost $40 a month for each child, or $480 a year. School fees are $50 a term, $150 a year. In all, $630 gives one child a full year.
