Current situation of the school

 

The school has nine teachers, six classes, watchman and a cook. The total number of pupils is 280 (150 boys, 130 girls). We are feeding all the orphans and vulnerable children. The director Mrs. Mary looks forward to a fully equipped, academic oriented school which will help the needy around Bukaywa area. This can only be realized if funds are available to hire more qualified teachers, addition of sanitation facilities, desks and permanent classrooms for them to feed all the children.

Future plans

We are aiming at having a secondary school, a dispensary to cater for the pupils and the community at large. A vehicle to transport the pupils to and from their homes. We also aim at buying a plot and erecting structures on the plot because at present we are operating on a rented plot. We look forward to buying with added help.
