Our story

A school born from one mother’s compassion

Mama Aidah had compassion for orphans and the poor. Though poor herself, she always took children into her home and raised them in God’s ways — believing that without education a child would amount to nothing.

When she went to be with the Lord in 2013, Apostle Suubi Julius felt called to build a school that would carry on her dream: that every child in Iwemba sub-county could access a quality education. Classes began at Exploits Worship Centre in Nambo, then in temporary iron-sheet rooms, until God provided for the buildings we learn in today.

  • Qualified, caring teachers and a safe, fenced campus
  • Nursery (3 classes) through Primary Six — adding a class every year
  • Excellence: we invest in teachers and textbooks so children pass with a first grade
What we believe

We believe in education for all children

Partnering with pupils, parents and the local community to make learning truly irresistible.

We welcome

We’re part of your child’s big day. Our welcome programme prepares every child for the milestone moments — from open day to their very first morning.

We embrace

We embrace every child who comes through our door, whatever their beliefs or background, and work with you so they reach their full potential at every stage.

We include

We work with other schools to grow diversity and tolerance, respect differences and celebrate every success. Inclusion is who we are.

Our mission

To provide affordable education to Ugandan children.

Our vision

To be the leading provider of quality education, raising all-round people for a corruption-free society.

Why your support matters

Most of our children come from very poor families

Many cannot afford books, pens or uniforms. As a young, rural school we depend on friends like you — and every gift goes straight to the children.

Give today
  • Books & scholastic materials

    Exercise books, pens and pencils are prized possessions for a child who has none.

  • A library and a 500-seat hall

    Our next building projects, so every child can read, gather and worship together.

  • Teacher welfare

    Classes are large and wages low — housing helps us keep great teachers in a rural school.
