Projects

Palisa School, (situated in Palisa), used to share a building with a local church. It looked more like an air raid shelter than a building for education. Early 2010 saw the completion of Arise and Shine Primary School, a new concrete build, funded by a local business from Northern Ireland.

Ayila Primary School is in Amulu in Gulu, Northern Uganda around 29km from Dr. Andrew McAvoy Primary School. The school has 12 acres of land and has been running since 1993.

Kisole Baptist Primary School is located right on the border of Uganda and Kenya. They requested a new school building to replace their mud structures. The school had a strong attendance but very poor resources and facilities.

Buyobe Primary School is in the district of Kayunga, north of Kampala and has been running since 1992. The school owns about 1 acre of land.

Christ the King Primary School, is situated around 30km north of Kampala. When we first visited the school in 2006, it had three classrooms made from mud with tin roofs. It was encouraging to see that the school had made many of its own resources, and were trying their best to give the children an education.

Coo–rom Tekwir Primary school is in the Amuru district in the north of Uganda. It was started in 2009 and has 450 children attending.

Abaana owns 10 acres of land on which Dr Andrew McAvoy Memorial sits. For 20 years the LRA terrorised the people of this region, abducting children and committing atrocities. Now there is peace and this new school has brought real hope to the surrounding area.

Over the last 2–3 years we have raised ¬£100,000 to ‘transform’ Mpata Primary in Mukono, Uganda. The new school caters for 300–400 children and is one of the leading schools in the area. We will also be looking into medical and feeding projects in this area, to ensure that the children’s health is of a higher standard.
