At School for Life we are always looking for ways to enhance the learning and education being offered to our students. This year we had a strong focus on partnering with other organisations aligned with our core mission and values, and who would be able to provide training programs that would prepare our students with work ready skills or to develop their own small businesses. Enter Sawa World.

Read on to see how the recent Sawa World program has ignited a spark amongst our Primary 7 students.

School for Life's second school at Mbazzi is almost ready for the 160 new nursery and primary school students we will enrol to start school in 2017. See how the build is progressing and meet some of our hard-working construction team in Uganda...

You're invited to come along with our CEO and Co-Founder Annabelle to meet our School for Life students, teachers and staff in Uganda. This is your chance to see exactly where your fundraising dollars go and to celebrate the official opening of Mbazzi Riverside School. You’ll get a view of Ugandan life like no other when you come with us to our schools where you’ll be greeted with open arms by our students and staff. After your time at school you can head off on a wildlife safari to see Africa’s animals up close, including the rare mountain gorillas.

As I sit in the library in Katuuso Primary School, unpacking boxes of donations that get sent from all over the world, I can't help but be annoyed when I come across completely irrelevant books such as 'How to Use a Microwave' or a summary of Australia's Top 10 Cricket Players from 1985. I am further incensed when I think about the discrepancy between these donations and the real needs of schools in Uganda.
