Thanks to the kindness and continued generosity of our supporters, we are currently supporting 85 vulnerable children at Kasese Humanist School and its associated schools.

Your support continues to make a real difference in the lives of children who would otherwise struggle to access education, shelter, and daily necessities.

Over the recent school term, we have provided new school uniforms to several newly admitted students, supplied exercise books and scholastic materials, and continued to feed and shelter close to 40 children staying under our direct care. In addition, we continue supporting about 45 day scholars by helping cover their tuition and educational needs so they can remain in school and continue learning.

We are especially encouraged that we now have three recurring donors supporting our work. This growing commitment gives us hope for long-term sustainability and stability for the vulnerable children under our care. Recurring support allows us to plan better and respond more consistently to the children's needs.

Another important milestone has been the relocation of needy boys into our newly completed boys’ dormitory. This has improved their safety, accommodation, and overall living conditions.

At the same time, construction work on the extension of the girls’ hostel is progressing steadily, helping us create more safe and dignified space for vulnerable girls.

We are also grateful for the support received through GlobalGiving funds, which has greatly strengthened our feeding program. We have been able to stock essential food supplies including cornflour, beans, salt, and cooking oil, helping ensure that the children receive regular meals while staying focused on their education.

Despite these achievements, the need remains very great. Many more vulnerable children continue to seek help with education, shelter, food, uniforms, and medical care.

We therefore continue appealing for more support from friends, well-wishers, and donors around the world so that we can serve these children better and give them hope for a brighter future.

We sincerely thank everyone who continues to stand with us and support our mission of keeping vulnerable children safe, educated, and hopeful.

Update on the Sponsor a Child program

By Bwambale Robert Musubaho | Project Leader

Some new beneficiaries added to the program

The Sponsor a Child project at Kasese Humanist School continues to grow steadily, expanding its reach and deepening its impact on vulnerable learners.

We are pleased to report that we continue to receive generous contributions from new donors, a clear sign of growing trust and global support for our mission. In addition, the number of recurring donors has increased, with six supporters now consistently contributing to sustain the program.

This year, we have enrolled 25 more needy children into the sponsorship program, bringing the total number of beneficiaries to 100 children.

These students, many of whom are orphans or from highly disadvantaged backgrounds, now have a renewed opportunity to access quality education in a supportive environment.

To improve student welfare and dignity, all children in the program have received new school uniforms this term. This has greatly boosted their confidence, sense of belonging, and regular school attendance.

Furthermore, part of the funds received has been allocated to strengthening our feeding program, particularly for orphaned learners. Access to daily meals has significantly improved concentration, health, and overall academic participation among the children.

Overall, the project continues to transform lives by removing barriers to education and ensuring that every supported child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a brighter future.

End of year report on the Sponsor a Child Project

By Bwambale Robert Musubaho | Project Leader

End of Year Report – Sponsor a Child Project

Organization: Kasese Humanist School

Reporting Period: January–December 2025

The Sponsor a Child Project at Kasese Humanist School continues to provide access to quality education for vulnerable children in Kasese District. With support from GlobalGiving donors, the project addressed key barriers to learning by covering school fees, providing learning materials, meals, and basic child welfare support.

Beneficiaries

During the reporting period, 75 children (girls: 40, boys: 35 aged between 6 – 18 were supported. Most beneficiaries come from low-income families, including orphans and children from single-parent households. These are distributed in the primary schools and a secondary school we manage.

Key Achievements

• All sponsored children attended school consistently due to timely payment of school fees.

• Scholastic materials such as books, pens, and exercise books were provided, improving classroom participation.

• Sponsored children received daily meals at school, contributing to better health, concentration, and attendance.

• Academic performance improved, particularly in reading, writing, and numeracy.

• Guidance and counseling sessions supported children’s emotional well-being and promoted child protection and humanist values.

Impact

The project reduced absenteeism and dropout rates among sponsored learners. Children showed increased confidence and motivation to learn, while parents and guardians reported reduced financial pressure and greater engagement in their children’s education.

One parent noted:

“My child no longer misses school and is now performing better because of the sponsorship.”

Challenges

Rising costs of food and school supplies and difficult home environments for some learners remained challenges. However, careful budgeting and donor support enabled the project to continue meeting its objectives despite the fact that we haven’t realized our goal.

Scores of vulnerable children continue being in school and still require more child sponsors to support them but the good thing we have kept them studying as the search for Sponsors or Foster parents continues.

Financial summary of funds received through GlobalGiving:

In the 2025 financial year, Kasese Humanist School received a total of USD 5,761.65 in disbursements from GlobalGiving. These funds were transferred through monthly disbursements and supported the school’s ongoing project to sponsor needy and vulnerable children. The funds contributed toward essential educational costs including school fees, meals, scholastic materials, uniforms, and general student welfare. GlobalGiving support continued to play a critical role in ensuring access to education for disadvantaged learners throughout the year.

Looking Ahead

In the coming year, Kasese Humanist School plans to maintain support for current beneficiaries, strengthen academic monitoring, and seek additional resources to expand sponsorship opportunities to more children in need.

Appreciation

We sincerely thank GlobalGiving and all donors for your continued generosity. Your support is transforming lives and giving vulnerable children the opportunity for a brighter future through education. We are lucky that in this first year we have reached past 6000 $US, registering two donors offering recurring monthly donations and have so far registered 37 donations.

All in all, we are hoping for the best in this coming year.

On behalf of Kasese Humanist School Limited, we wish the entire team at GlobalGiving happy holidays and a fruitful new year.
