Poor children in Uganda need school

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your continued support of our project in Kyabakuza, a small village in the Masaka region of Uganda.

Kyabakuza is home to around 1,000 children. Most families survive through subsistence farming, cultivating small plots of land that often produce barely enough food to feed their households. Poverty is widespread, and many children have lost one or both parents due to the lack of adequate healthcare facilities in the area.

In a region of nearly 28,000 inhabitants, there is still no public school and no kindergarten. For many children, this means growing up without access to education, opportunities, or hope for a better future. Without support, many are at risk of becoming street children and remaining trapped in the cycle of poverty.

Missionary Sisters working in the village care for the most vulnerable children and families. Their first daily concern is ensuring that children have enough food to eat. However, they know that lasting change requires more than food alone. Education is the key that can open the door to a different future.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters, a temporary school building has already been constructed. Children who previously had nowhere to learn can now begin their education. However, the existing space is far from sufficient. Three additional classrooms are urgently needed to accommodate the growing number of students.

The Sisters and local residents are contributing their own labor to the project. Together they produce bricks and help with construction work whenever possible. Despite their dedication, the materials available locally are often not strong enough to ensure durable buildings that will serve future generations of children.

Your support is helping to transform this reality. Every contribution brings us closer to completing the classrooms and creating a safe and stable learning environment for hundreds of children.

Long-Term Impact

Education changes lives. By giving children access to quality learning, we help them develop their talents, gain knowledge, and build confidence in their future. A completed school will provide opportunities that have never existed in this community before.

Step by step, the children of Kyabakuza will gain the tools they need to shape their own future, support their families, and contribute to the development of their community. What begins as a classroom today can become a lifetime of opportunity tomorrow.

Thank you for standing with the children of Kyabakuza and helping them build a brighter future.

With gratitude,
