“I have visited Amatsiko three times and am always amazed at how much they achieve with very limited resources. Every gift makes a significant impact.” - Karinn, USA
More Than 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 family — children are fed three meals a day, supported, 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, our current school has been earmarked for demolition.
Our classrooms, which are simple wood structures with dirt floors have been deemed substandard.
If we cannot act in time, 420 children could lose their school.
For many of our children, Amatsiko is the most stable and supportive place in their lives.
Our current goal is to raise $US 95,000 to purchase land
We are determined to turn this crisis into an opportunity and have identified a parcel of land to house our future school.
For years, we have dreamed of building a permanent school facility, but we never imagined we would need to do it this urgently.
Every donation, no matter the size, genuinely makes a difference.
Thank you for helping us keep hope alive
And if you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this page could help us reach someone who can.
Please support us with this first major step of buying the land.
From there, we will create a master plan and build our future school.
