Help support vulnerable children at Kasese Humanist school


Children at our Kahendero Humanist School

There has been tremendous growth in the enrollment figures of pupils and students attending our schools.

We have registered several orphans and needy children under our child sponsorship program and most of these children come from impoverished homes where the standard of living is below the normal.

Many of our people are facing acute problems of unemployment and under employment.

The majority of our people are subsistence farmers , not all have access or own land and others earn a living by working on people's shambas.

It has been our role as school administrators to mind about the fate of children and ensuring that we allow some children study with us as we also search for potential helpers to extend a helping hand to allow these children to access basic education which is very fundamental to their future endeavors.

I created a fundraising event and a page where kind people can chip in anything or offer some knowledge on how best to help these disadvantaged children.

https://charitysaver.org/event/25068/support-kasese-humanist-school-2/  

To learn more about this program and how it works, you can send me an email and i will be glad to write back to you.

 Some thriving bamboo clusters. I am looking forward to having the third canopy for bamboo grasses on the outskirts of the Nyamwamba River Bank.




In months or years ahead I would wish the bamboo umbrellas to serve as outdoor study spaces for students at Kasese Humanist School and Municipal High Humanist School respectively.

General School Report from our school project

 

KASESE HUMANIST ORPHANS

Kasese Humanist school is happy to inform the general public that it has ended third term successfully and this marks the end of the 2022 Calendar year.

Third term has not been an easy term and of course it has been having its own challenges, has been a busy term where our candidates of Primary Seven and Senior Four have been doing their final examinations organised by Uganda National Examinations Board. It has been a promotional term where students get promoted to the next class and i am happy all our children tried their best to excel and we look forward for better results in the nationwide papers for the candidate classes.

I prepared a brief GENERAL SCHOOL REPORT highlighting some of the events that happened throughout the year. The document can be accessed and downloaded here:

 GENERAL SCHOOL REPORT 2022

I encourage all our fans, friends of Kasese Humanist School to read out this document and perhaps share it to the wider audience. I felt it important to highlight what transpired this year as we close.

School reopening is in Early Feb 2023.

We remain focused and committed to advancing secular values, ideas, critical thoughts, reason, free inquiry and continue to fight against poverty, disease, irrational superstitious practices deep rooted in our communities.
