Through  education, we strive to break the cycle of poverty by  opening the doors to future opportunities for the children of these remote farming villages.

Although the Ugandan government offers free primary education, the system is plagued by underfunding, overcrowding, and teacher absenteeism. As a result, some 80% of children who enter primary school fail to complete the primary levels. Many children graduate with low literacy levels and are unprepared for further education.

Atanansi Junior School began as a community built, rudimentary structure, with trained teachers, local administrators, and 89 village students in January 2016. Through dedicated community engagement, including parents baking over 100,000 bricks to build better classrooms, the school steadily grew in size and reputation. 

By the summer of 2023, the school had a permanent campus with brick classrooms serving nearly 300 students.

537 students attended during the 2025 academic year!
