Our Schools
Kakooge Primary School - New in 2024
With the help of some generous donors we were able to add this school of more than 700 students in our village of Kakooge. When we first visited this school - students were out picking green mangoes for lunch. Government schools do not provide any food for students. We started with porridge while making sure parents would contribute beans - We moved to full lunch of posho and beans in April 2024. The school has now grown to 850 students.
Kiralamba Primary School
We took over feeding this school in 2017. It is a large government school with 700 students. Head master, teachers and parents work well together to make this a great school. We are very proud to also be a partner. The school has lacked clean water and so we are adding roof water collection and tanks in 2025 and will also dig a borehole (well) in 2025.
Mitanzi Primary School
This school has about 350 students. It is a poorer school but with determined leadership. In 2023 we also helped them with solar power thanks to a donation from a long-time friend of Mike’s. African Children’s Mission donated teacher housing and latrine in the past.
Kyambogo Primary School
This is one of the poorest government schools that we support. Many children live with a grandparent or other extended family or a single parent. The school had no kitchen when we first agreed to help so we started with porridge. Even then the school grew quickly from 150 to 400 students. We have since built a kitchen and provide posho. Families are slowly bringing beans and vegetables as their limited finances allow. The school now has 550 students and we have added a bore hole for clean water in 2025.
Ekitangaala Primary School
This is the first school that we worked with - starting first by sponsoring students and buying desks. When the head teacher, Jovia Oyo told us the feeding program was failing - we decided to take over. From there we have added many other schools and we share the responsibility for this school with African Children's Mission.
Canaan Primary School
This is a growing non-government school in our village of Kakooge. We supplement their existing feeding program This is a fast growing school with over 700 students. Many of our factory workers children attend this school
Lwanjuki Primary School
In 2024 we were able to take over this school which is much nearer to our village and factory - trading out a more distant school to a better situated feeding program. This school, though closer for us, has many needs, such as a broken well pump, no water storage and no solar. We will begin to tackle these in late 2024.
Ebenezer Primary School
These are pictures from a small village school that we support. Parents pay for school fees and uniforms, national tests and supplies and provide beans. This school has grown from about 50 to more than 350 students.
