The 12 PCs for Christmas!
Raising for The Uphill Trust (Scotland)
IT skills are essential for today's children and adults. Only 25% of Ugandan teachers have a basic understanding of computer use and only 10% have the skills to use computers to enhance their lesson planning and teaching. For pupils in rural schools, lack of electricity, IT equipment and functional internet severely limit their access to digital learning although, when IT skills lessons are introduced in their schools, they learn very quickly.
Due to its rural location, Uphill Junior School has no internet access, but basic IT training has been available for pupils since 2016. The laptops being used were donated second hand items from the UK and most of those are no longer functioning. Since 2024 we have been funding refurbished laptops bought within Uganda - costing around £150 each - and more are needed!
Our Christmas Appeal for 2025 is to raise money to buy more good quality refurbished laptops for the Uphill pupils and staff, especially as we hope to solve the internet access challenge in 2026!
Can you help us fund 12 PCs for Uphill this Christmas?

About us
The Uphill Trust (Scotland)
Charity number: SC045385 
The Uphill Trust supports grass roots education in rural western Uganda: Uphill Junior School, a privately-owned primary school with kindergarten, was founded by a Ugandan teacher in February 2011 and provides educational opportunities for girls, orphans and children from poor rural families.
We are helping the school to build well equipped school buildings, maintain a motivated and well-qualified teaching staff, provide clean water and good sanitation, and support the education of girls and orphans.
When funding is available we also support projects that benefit the wider community, such as provision of mosquito nets, solar lanterns and reading glasses for the community elders.
The Uphill Trust is a zero-overheads charity - 100% of the money you donate is used to support Uphill Junior School.
Education is power!
