KASESE HUMANIST SCHOOL

Its yet a new year 2018 which actually is our eighth year as we serve in teaching Ugandan children.

We have been waiting for results of Primary seven candidates who sat their final exams in November last year. We had a total of 25 pupils in the class and i am happy to report that all of them have qualified to join secondary school education. The outcomes were as below:

• 2 passed in Division One, 17 in Division Two and 6 in Division 3

On a special note, i thank all the generous supporters and well wishers plus the parents for supporting the school. I also salute my teaching staff for the dedicated work they have rendered inspite of the challenges we continue to face.

The generous supporters who help sponsor some of our children also deserves some thanks. The financial resources which come into the school has helped me immensely to aid me in proper running of the school projects.

A point should be noted that our schools is strategically placed in areas with people with low income, highly impoverished and with record traces of orphans where most of their parents could have succumbed to the deadly HIV/AIDS, poaching and diseased because of poor nutrition and living conditions. 

I encourage those sponsoring to continue doing so such that these children continue to benefiting from our service. We also have several children on our sponsorship scheme and most of them right now are in Kahendero and the Rukoki school.

Sponsoring a child transforms lives, it creates a balanced world where the less fortunate can also get chance to be in school and compete with the priviledged. For DAY SCHOOLING annual fee is at 130$ US  while FULL BOARD is at 260$ US.

Donations can be redirected to our school through:

• Atheist Alliance International
• Brighter Brains Humanist Action Coalition
• Humanist Canada
• Alternatively, donations can be sent to me direct via User Remit and world remit which is instant.

This year, we hope to strengthen on what we already have as in boosting up income generating activities for the school.

• Mobilising for more pupils to enrol in our schools.
• Fence up all our schools
• Add more furniture and equip our computer rooms , vocational classes, work on dusty class rooms by cementing them.

With Science, we can progress.

Yours in free thought,
