The Kasese Humanist Orphans story

 The Kasese Humanist Orphans, also known as #bizohaorphans, have a truly inspiring story.

 They are part of the Muhokya school community in Uganda, which is being refurbished with the support of the Uganda Humanist Schools Trust.

The orphans have benefited from the refurbishment works, which aim to provide them with a better learning environment. The project is a testament to the power of community and the importance of supporting vulnerable children.

The Kasese Humanist School, where the orphans are based, is a secular institution that values science, critical thinking, and humanist values. The school's mission is to provide a holistic education that prepares children for a bright future.

It's heartwarming to see organizations like the Uganda Humanist Schools Trust, Atheist Alliance International,  Nonprofit Industrial Complex,  Humanists Victoria,  Humanist Global charity, Global Giving  and individuals supporting such initiatives. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these remarkable children!
