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!
After 10 years spent fundraising and constructing all the primary school buildings needed at Uphill Junior School, we now have to build permanent classrooms for the 150 little ones in the Baby, Middle and Top Kindergarten classes. That's a lot of children needing a lot of room to learn and play!
We have a massive £50,000 to raise - please, please can you help?
Every pound raised will buy more bricks, and every brick counts!
All the Uphill classrooms are built on a concrete foundation, with plastered and painted brick walls, a corrugated aluminium roof, metal doors and glazed windows. We always use a team of skilled parent builders, supported by other members of the Uphill community, keeping the money in the local economy.
Please can you help us to finish the school?
