More Than Just a School

For the past 11 years, Amatsiko Preparatory School has been a safe place for orphaned and vulnerable children in Kabale, Uganda.

It’s more than just a school. It’s a place where children are cared for, fed three meals a day, encouraged, and given the chance to build a future they may never otherwise have had.

Right now, we are facing a situation we never expected.

Due to new government building regulations, parts of our current school have been earmarked for demolition.

We urgently need to build safer permanent classrooms.

If we cannot act in time, 420 children could lose their school.

For some of these children, Amatsiko is the most stable and supportive place in their lives.

We have the land to build on

Years ago, we bought land with the dream of building a permanent school for our children, but we didn’t have the funding to begin construction.

We never imagined we would need to do it this urgently.

We already have the land and now have new building plans. What we urgently need is help to start building.

Our goal is to raise $124,000 USD to create safe classrooms and protect the future of Amatsiko for generations to come.

Every donation, no matter the size, genuinely makes a difference.

And if you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this page could help us reach someone who can.

Thank you for helping us keep hope alive.
