WITH SCIENCE, WE CAN PROGRESS 

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. 

With Science, we can progress.

Why It Is Important to Help Orphans at Kasese Humanist School

Giving young people education opens their horizons and future paths

Helping orphans at Kasese Humanist School is essential because these children face unique challenges that greatly affect their education, well-being, and future opportunities. Support plays a transformational role in their lives for several reasons:

1. Many orphans lack basic necessities

A significant number of orphaned children come from extremely vulnerable backgrounds, often without stable guardianship. Support helps provide:

• Food and nutrition

• Clothing and hygiene supplies

• Learning materials

• Safe shelter and emotional care

These essentials are crucial for their survival and academic success.

2. Education is their strongest pathway out of poverty

Orphans often have limited access to quality education due to financial hardship. By helping them stay in school, you give them:

• Knowledge and skills for self-reliance

• Protection from early marriage, child labor, and exploitation

• Hope and confidence in building a better future

Education becomes a lifeline—breaking the cycle of poverty.

3. Humanist Schools offer a safe, supportive environment

Kasese Humanist School provides:

• A non-discriminatory, science-based, and child-centered learning environment

• Compassionate care based on human values rather than dogma

• Guidance, counseling, and emotional support for traumatized or vulnerable children

This creates a nurturing space where orphans can heal, grow, and thrive.

4. Community crises increase the number of vulnerable children

Kasese district has experienced:

• Displacement

• Conflict

• Natural disasters

• Health emergencies

These situations lead to a rise in orphaned or abandoned children who urgently need support, stability, and education.

5. Every child deserves dignity and opportunity

Humanist values emphasize empathy, equality, and the inherent worth of every child. Supporting orphans affirms these principles by ensuring they:

• Feel valued and included

• Are treated with fairness and respect

• Have equal opportunity to succeed in life

6. Your support creates long-term impact

When an orphan receives help:

• A child’s future is transformed

• A family and community are strengthened

• A potential leader, teacher, scientist, or innovator is nurtured

Helping these children is not charity alone—it is an investment in humanity.

Appreciation Message to Our Donors, Friends, and Sympathizers

🌱 Success Story – Our Tree Planting Campaigns

Our tree planting initiative continues to thrive! Over the past year, students and staff have planted hundreds of trees around our school and nearby communities.

These trees not only enhance the beauty of our environment but also promote climate awareness, soil conservation, and biodiversity.

The campaign has become a living classroom where learners practice environmental stewardship and sustainability in action.

Cubicle rooms to shelter more fullboard students at Kasese Humanist School 

At Kasese Humanist School, we believe that every child deserves a safe, comfortable, and inspiring place to live and learn. To meet the needs of our growing student community, we are excited to announce the Dormitory Extension Project — a major step toward improving our boarding facilities and enhancing student welfare.

Meeting the Needs of a Growing School

Over the years, our school has continued to attract more learners from across Kasese District and beyond. As our enrollment increases, so does the need for quality accommodation for our boarding students. The new dormitory extension will help reduce overcrowding and ensure that every student enjoys a clean, secure, and supportive living environment.

The extension will feature spacious sleeping areas, improved sanitation, better ventilation, and designs that promote comfort and dignity. These upgrades will make life at school even more enjoyable and conducive to learning.

Supporting Holistic Education

This project is not just about expanding buildings — it’s about strengthening our mission. With more dormitory space, students will have access to quiet study areas, recreational spaces, and enhanced health and safety facilities. By improving their living conditions, we help them focus more on their studies, personal growth, and teamwork.

As our Director notes:

> “Our goal is to make Kasese Humanist School a true home away from home. The dormitory extension is an investment in our children’s future — a commitment to their comfort, safety, and success.”

Powered by Community and Supporters

The Dormitory Extension Project is made possible through the generous support of parents, local revenues from Kasese Humanist school establishments, and friends of Kasese Humanist School worldwide. Many have contributed funds, materials, and labor toward making this vision a reality.

We warmly welcome continued support whether through donations, partnerships, or volunteer efforts — to help complete the project and furnish the new dormitory.

Promoting Equality and Dignity

The new facilities will also promote gender equality and safety, with well-designed separate sections for girls and boys. This reflects our humanist values of fairness, respect, and compassion, ensuring that every child feels secure and valued within our school community. Right now we are expanding on the boys dormitory. 

Building a Better Future Together

Once completed, the dormitory extension will allow us to host more students and continue delivering quality education rooted in science, reason, and human values. It’s a milestone in our journey — one that shows what we can achieve when we work together for the good of our children.

At Kasese Humanist School, we are not just building classrooms and dormitories — we are building hope, opportunity, and a brighter future for all.
