In 2014 the Egoli Africa foundation set up a new high school in Kameke, Uganda. When it was founded the school had 75 students, and as there was no schoolbuilding yet, they were taught at a nearby primary school. Only 2 years later the school had grown and had more than 400 students. In November 2016 the first group of students were able to take their high school finals. Due to the large number of students a new building was desperately needed to be able to facilitate all the students. The Egoli Africa foundation started a project that would not only improve the facilities but it would also provide long term improvement in the quality of education.
The foundation built 2 new schoolblocks with 6 classrooms divided between them. Furthermore, the financial support they received helped finance 2 dorm rooms, a kitchen, a teachers’ room, an office, a sports field, a food programme, vegetable gardens, a cattle breeding project and a database with educational material.
The Egoli Africa Foundation wanted to not only provide the school with new facilities but they wanted to create an environment that ensured high quality education. The different activities they set up provide the students with diverse education which enables the children to gain skills in different fields. The foundation’s goal was that by the end of the project the children would be able to say: “I’m here and I go to school.” it’s with much pride and joy that they can say they have realised this.
