Upgrade of the school’s perimeter fence at the Rukoki campus

Perimeter Fence Upgrade Strengthens Safety at Kasese Humanist School – Rukoki Campus

Kasese Humanist School is pleased to share the successful upgrade of the perimeter fence at its Rukoki Campus, a key milestone in our ongoing efforts to provide a safe, secure, and supportive learning environment for all students.

The improved fence enhances campus security by clearly defining school boundaries, controlling access points, and protecting learners, staff, and school property. This development reduces the risk of unauthorized entry and helps ensure that students can focus on their studies in a calm and protected setting.

A secure school environment is essential for effective learning. The perimeter fence upgrade also safeguards classrooms, dormitory facilities, and other school resources, while strengthening the school’s ability to manage daily activities smoothly and responsibly.

This upgrade reflects Kasese Humanist School’s commitment to the wellbeing, dignity, and safety of every child, in line with our humanist values. We are grateful to our partners, supporters, and the local community whose encouragement and support made this improvement possible. Great thanks to the School Director for his courageous and focused efforts to make the school environment more comfortable and appealing. 

As we continue to grow, Kasese Humanist School remains dedicated to investing in infrastructure that promotes quality education, security, and holistic development for our learners.

Attached are some of the snapshots of the perimeter fence upgrade exercise.

Pens For Kids Denmark 🇩🇰 donates to Kasese Humanist School, Uganda 🇺🇬

Kasese Humanist School extends heartfelt gratitude to People for Kids Charity, based in Denmark, for their generous and impactful donation to our learners. The charity donated hundreds of pens, several soccer balls, a collection of library books, and clothes that were distributed to selected students in need.

This support has made a meaningful difference in both academic and co-curricular life at our school. 

The pens and library books directly enhance classroom learning by improving access to basic scholastic materials and encouraging a reading culture among learners. 

Items such as pens will be issued to all students when the school reopens for Term One in early February, ensuring every learner benefits from this generous donation at the start of the academic term.

The soccer balls promote physical fitness, teamwork, and talent development, contributing to students’ overall wellbeing. 

The donated clothes have helped restore dignity and comfort to vulnerable students, allowing them to focus better on their studies.

We sincerely thank People for Kids Charity for standing with Kasese Humanist School and for believing in the potential of our children. Their kindness reflects a strong commitment to education, child welfare, and human solidarity.

 We look forward to continued friendship and partnership as we work together to build brighter futures for our learners.

Thanks Uganda Humanist Schools Trust for the Beds donation

 The acquisition of metallic double-decker beds marked an important milestone for our school. Generously donated by Uganda Humanist Schools Trust, the beds have greatly improved the living conditions of our learners in the dormitories.

The new beds are strong, durable, and space-saving, allowing more children to sleep comfortably in a clean and organized environment. This has reduced overcrowding, improved hygiene, and enhanced student safety and dignity.

We are deeply grateful to Uganda Humanist Schools Trust for this timely and thoughtful support. Their donation reflects a strong commitment to child welfare, quality education, and humanist values. The beds are not just furniture; they are an investment in the wellbeing, health, and academic success of our learners.

A total of 15 metallic double-decker beds were made, creating 30 additional sleeping spaces. This has significantly eased congestion in the dormitories and ensured that more learners now sleep comfortably and safely.

Some of these beds have been installed in our newly built boys’ dormitory extension, further improving accommodation capacity and providing a safer, more comfortable sleeping environment for the learners housed there.

Attached are some pictures of the beds being made, ferried to the school.

Tribute to Davida Lecomte

Davida lecomte 

A SPECIAL MESSAGE AND TRIBUTE TO A LOST FRIEND, MOTHER TO ALL.aa we close the year 2025

Tribute to Davida Lecomte – A Friend and Benefactor of Kasese Humanist School

Today, I wish to publicly express our deep gratitude and remembrance of Davida Lecomte, a remarkable humanist and philanthropist who supported Kasese Humanist School in its earlier years. 

Her generosity and commitment to humanist values played a critical role in shaping the foundation and growth of our school.

Through Davida’s support, classrooms were constructed at a time when the school urgently needed safe and permanent learning spaces. These structures did more than house lessons; they restored hope, stability, and dignity to children who had very limited chances of accessing quality education. 

Her contribution helped create an environment where learning could truly thrive.

Beyond infrastructure, Davida sponsored scores of vulnerable and orphaned children at Kasese Humanist School over several years. Because of her kindness, many children received education, meals, scholastic materials, and care. 

Some of the children she supported are still under our care today, continuing their studies with determination and hope, while others have successfully completed their education and graduated, now living productive and independent lives. Her impact continues to echo through their achievements.

Sadly, over time, we lost contact with Davida. This message is shared with sincere hope that anyone who knows her whereabouts, or has information about her current status, can help reconnect us.

We believe friends and colleagues within the Humanist Canada community, and the wider humanist network, may be aware of what happened to her and could help keep us informed, whether she is alive or has sadly passed on.

If Davida is still with us, we would be deeply grateful for the opportunity to reconnect and personally express how far her support has carried us. If she has passed on, we wish to honor her #memory and #legacy properly, knowing that her #compassion transformed many lives and will never be forgotten.

On behalf of Kasese Humanist School , Kasese Humanist Orphans, Municipal High Humanist School our students, alumni, staff, and community, we remain forever thankful. 

Davida Lecomte’s kindness lives on in every child who learned within the classrooms she helped build and in every future shaped by the education she made possible. Our school project is still shining and growing stronger but we dearly miss her and is always in our memories.

Am sharing a picture of her that she shared with me here.

WITH SCIENCE, WE CAN PROGRESS 

Yours sincerely,

Bwambale Robert Musubaho

Fixing fascia boards on hostel units

 Kasese Humanist School continues to make steady progress on the dormitory extension building, with fascia boards currently being fitted as part of the roof finishing works. This stage marks an important step toward completing the structure and improving its overall quality.

Fascia boards play a vital functional role by providing a strong resting surface for gutters. This ensures proper installation and support, which is especially important for effective rainwater harvesting during heavy rains. Well-supported gutters help collect and channel rainwater efficiently, contributing to sustainable water use at the school.

In addition to their practical benefits, fascia boards greatly improve the appearance of the building. They give the dormitory extension a neat, complete, and attractive finish, enhancing the school’s environment for learners. These ongoing improvements reflect Kasese Humanist School’s commitment to creating safe, durable, and appealing facilities for its students.

Attached are some images of the fascia boards fixing on the dormitory extension buildings.

Boys dormitory extension project

The Boys Dormitory Extension Project at Kasese Humanist School is moving steadily toward completion. Plastering works are currently in progress, giving the building a clean and refined finish. 

The gables have been fully fixed, the concrete slab floors have been completed and only one room is remaining, and the roofing installation is now fully done.

With the structure secured, the next phase will involve installing doors and windows. These additions will mark a major step toward making the facility ready for final touches and eventual use by our learners early next year.

In a related development,  I have also facelifted some unused bigger room and have added a ceiling and will serve as an extension of the Girls dormitory. 

We extend our appreciation to all supporters who continue to make this project possible.

Together with combined effort,  we can make a lasting difference in the lives of our learners,  the staffs and the entire community.
