Considering only 16% of youth in Uganda attend secondary school according to the United Nations, this accomplishment bears even greater weight...
Factor in that 96% of our students are double orphans who have lost both their mother and father...
None have electricity, running water, indoor kitchens, or flush toilets when they go to their humble homes...
For many of our students the two meals they receive at Nyaka are the only ones they enjoy during a day...
And they walk upwards of 2 hours each direction to attend school...
And that is not the only good news!
Our conclusion is that 100% of our students are ROCKSTARS!!! They exemplify qualities of success at the tender age of a middle schooler that many of us hope to achieve *sometime* in our life.
Thank you to all of you who continue to invest in our students' success.
With your help, the best is yet to come!
