GlobalGiving Project Update – October 2026

1. Introduction During October, Kasese Humanist School continued to make progress in supporting learners through the generous contributions of GlobalGiving donors. The funds received have helped improve access to education by supporting tuition, providing essential scholastic materials, strengthening staff support, and sustaining our school feeding program.

We are grateful to our GlobalGiving donors for their continued generosity and commitment to improving the lives of children in our communities.

Recurring donations, in particular, are making a meaningful difference in our ability to meet learners’ needs across the three campuses we manage.

2. Supporting 125 Beneficiaries with Tuition We are pleased to report that 125 learners are now benefiting from GlobalGiving funds through tuition support. This assistance is helping children continue their education and reducing the financial burden on families who might otherwise struggle to meet school fees. Your contributions are helping us keep education within reach for more children and strengthening our commitment to providing inclusive and accessible learning opportunities.

3. Providing Essential Scholastic Materials Recurring donations have also helped us improve the availability of essential scholastic materials and basic first-aid supplies for learners across our three campuses. During this reporting period, we distributed pens and pencils to students across the schools, ensuring that they have some of the basic tools needed for their daily classroom activities.

We also supplied mathematical sets to candidate-class learners at Kasese Municipal High School and Kasese Humanist Primary School, including learners at Rukoki, Muhokya, and Kahendero. These materials are particularly important for students preparing for their examinations, as they enable them to participate more effectively in mathematics lessons and complete examination exercises with the necessary equipment. These practical interventions help reduce the burden on parents and ensure that a lack of basic learning materials does not unnecessarily hinder children's academic progress.

4. Strengthening Staff Support The most recent funding allocation has helped strengthen staff salaries at our primary schools during the current school term. Of the UGX 2,000,000 recently received, UGX 450,000 was allocated to staff salary support at each of the primary schools, amounting to UGX 1,800,000 in total.

This contribution has helped the schools meet some of their staffing costs and support the continued delivery of learning activities. The remaining UGX 200,000 was used to purchase 60 mathematical sets and additional pencils for learners. We appreciate this support because teachers and other school staff play a vital role in ensuring that children receive consistent educational support. Assistance with staff costs helps us maintain school operations despite the financial pressures facing our institutions.

5. Challenges Facing the School-Feeding Program One of our biggest challenges continues to be the rising cost of food. Prices for essential food items, particularly cornmeal and beans, have increased, putting additional pressure on our school feeding program.

Providing meals remains an important part of supporting learners' well-being, concentration, and participation in class. However, as food prices continue to rise, the same resources purchase less food than before, making it increasingly difficult to sustain the program at the level we would like. We remain committed to doing everything possible to ensure that learners continue to receive food while exploring practical and sustainable ways to reduce our dependence on purchased supplies.

6. Strengthening Our Food Security Initiatives In response to the rising cost of food, we are intensifying our food security initiatives by increasing food production in our school gardens. This season, we are establishing additional garden spaces, with a particular focus on growing leafy greens and other vegetables that can supplement the food provided to learners. By producing more of our own food, we hope to reduce feeding costs, improve the nutritional quality of meals, and build greater resilience against future increases in food prices.

Our school gardening initiative is an important step toward long-term sustainability. In addition to helping meet immediate feeding needs, it offers opportunities to encourage learners to appreciate agriculture, environmental responsibility, and practical food production skills. We believe that investing in school gardens will help us make better use of available land and resources while strengthening the school's ability to provide meals consistently.

7. Looking Ahead In the coming months, Kasese Humanist School will continue to focus on the following priorities: • Sustaining tuition support for the 125 learners benefiting from GlobalGiving funds. • Ensuring that students have access to essential scholastic materials, including pens, pencils, books, and mathematical sets. • Supporting teachers and school staff to maintain effective learning environments. • Strengthening the school feeding program despite rising food prices. • Expanding school gardens to increase the availability of vegetables and other food supplies. • Promoting greater sustainability by growing more food locally and reducing reliance on purchased food. Continued donor support will be essential in helping us maintain these services and respond to the growing needs of our learners.

8. Appreciation to GlobalGiving Donors We extend our sincere appreciation to every GlobalGiving donor who continues to support Kasese Humanist School.

Your generosity is helping 125 learners access education through tuition assistance while also contributing to the provision of scholastic materials, staff support, and food security initiatives.

Every contribution makes a difference. Whether it helps a child obtain a mathematical set, enables a student to attend school, supports a teacher, or helps us grow food for our learners, your support is creating meaningful opportunities for children in our community.

Although rising food prices and other operational costs continue to present challenges, we remain determined to use the available resources responsibly and seek sustainable solutions.

Thank you for standing with Kasese Humanist School and helping us build a brighter future for the children we serve. Together, we are making education more accessible, strengthening our schools, and working toward a more food-secure and sustainable learning environment.

Sponsor a child project at Kasese Humanist School

Introduction

The Sponsor a Needy Child at Kasese Humanist School project continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable children in our community. We are delighted to report that 100 children are currently benefiting directly from the project.

Through the generosity of our supporters, the project has now raised more than US$10,000. We are deeply grateful to every donor and especially pleased to have increased our recurring donors to four, providing much-needed stability for the children we support.

Aims and Objectives

The project aims to:

Keep vulnerable children in school by helping meet essential educational needs.
Provide scholastic materials, uniforms and other necessities to children who cannot afford them.
Improve food security and ensure children have adequate meals at school.
Provide emergency educational support to children at risk of dropping out.
Develop sustainable income-generating initiatives that can strengthen support for vulnerable children.
Promote equal access to quality education regardless of a child's economic circumstances.

Our Current Progress

The funds received have enabled us to achieve several important milestones:

100 vulnerable children are currently benefiting directly from the project.
We have provided free pens and pencils to all students, from nursery through secondary school.
We have strengthened our food security programme by purchasing seeds for planting and supplying beans and posho for the school kitchen.
New school uniforms have been purchased for newly enrolled students, while worn-out uniforms have been replaced for existing students.
We provided additional financial support to 8 secondary school students at Kasese Municipal High School, helping them remain in school during periods when their families could not meet the required fees.
We have established a Goat Project as a sustainable income-generating initiative to help strengthen the project and provide an alternative source of support if donations decline.
Total donations have now surpassed US$10,000.
Our recurring donor base has increased to four supporters, which gives us greater confidence in maintaining assistance to vulnerable children.

Sustainability Plan

We recognize that long-term support cannot depend entirely on donations. We are therefore working to build sustainable initiatives, including:

1. Goat Project: Expanding goat rearing to generate future income for supporting children's education and welfare.

2. Food production: Increasing the cultivation of beans, maize and other food crops to reduce school food costs.

3. Recurring donations: Encouraging more supporters to make regular monthly contributions.

4. Community participation: Engaging families and the local community in food production and school sustainability activities.

5. Diversified fundraising: Reaching out to individuals, foundations, charitable organizations and responsible philanthropic partners.

Challenges

Despite the progress achieved, the need remains much greater than the resources currently available. Major challenges include:

Increasing numbers of vulnerable children requiring educational assistance.
Rising costs of food, uniforms, scholastic materials and school operations.
Difficulty for many families to meet school fees and other educational expenses.
Limited income-generating resources to guarantee long-term sustainability.
Dependence on donations to meet urgent and unexpected needs.

Our Request to Supporters

We kindly appeal to our existing and potential supporters to continue standing with these children. Every donation, whether large or small, helps keep a child in school and gives them an opportunity for a better future.

We particularly encourage supporters to consider becoming recurring donors. Regular monthly support enables us to plan ahead, respond to urgent needs and provide greater security for vulnerable children.

We also welcome support for our Goat Project and food-security initiatives, which are important components of our long-term sustainability strategy.

Conclusion

We are extremely grateful for the generosity and trust of our GlobalGiving supporters. Raising more than US$10,000 and increasing our recurring donors to four is a significant achievement for our school community.

Most importantly, the support is translating into real improvements in children's lives—from school supplies and uniforms to meals, educational assistance and sustainable livelihood initiatives.

Together, we are keeping vulnerable children in school, improving their wellbeing and building a more secure future for them.

Thank you for believing in our children and for standing with Kasese Humanist School.

June report from Kasese Humanist School

By Bwambale Robert Musubaho | Project Leader

Kasese Humanist School pictures

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.
