Kasese humanist school featured in AAI Annual report

Kasese humanist school enjoys a long time fraternity with Atheist Alliance International and there is a lot that has been attained via the partnership. 

Kasese humanist school is an affiliate of Atheist Alliance International and in the early stages as we were opening our school project, AAI sent a team of 4 volunteers who actively participated in our community outreach,  classroom teaching and early renovation works of the rented railway properties that accommodated our first school in 2010 and 2011 when we started.

Atheist Alliance International to this very time continues to accept donations for our school project on their website. The campaigns page is on this link https://www.atheistalliance.org/campaigns/kasese-humanist-school/

You can look at a mention of our school project in their latest annual report of 2022/2023 on the link below:

Give some hope to these happy humans

 Kasese Humanist School is open to all children from all walks of life where a bigger section are children from able parents who meet school fees and other school requirements while there are vulnerable and less fortunate children including orphans from impoverished homes where some are neglected or abandoned by their families and we help bridge this gap.

You can SPONSOR A CHILD here https://www.atheistalliance.org/campaigns/kasese-humanist-school/

In the early years, we begun the Child Sponsorship Program where potential child sponsors have assisted in sponsoring children for a term, several terms, year and years for some lucky ones. We created the BIZOHA ORPHANS also known as the KASESE HUMANIST ORPHANS where we have continued to care for the orphans in our community.

The orphans are given education and other basics of life like given access to our classrooms, given scholastic items like school uniforms, books, pens, pencils, crayons , clothing, food and a section of them sheltered.

We give hope to these children to study and prepare their future into a meaningful one.
Those whom we have helped have not remained the same, we are happy seeing the assisted ones become teachers, engineers, doctors, mechanics, tailors and many of them becoming job creators.

Giving a donation in aid to a needy vulnerable child is one way of bridging the gap between the fortunate with the less fortunate humans and giving them hope for a future and better life.

Any coin extended to this cause will go a long way to create positive change and improving the livelihoods of the orphans.

Normally I dry and crush them into powder and each time depending on the meal, I sprinkle some moderate to the food to spice it up and the taste is always enjoyable and pleasurable. 

Living simple and within your means generates total peace and wisdom.

Incase you need to know more about the Child sponsorship program, send us a note on email  kasesehumanistschool@hotmail.com

Chose any of the above children or child and we shall avail more information. 

Sponsorship goes beyond providing for an orphan’s needs, it speaks to the heart of a child and tells them they are valuable, precious and loved. It gives them a sense of belonging and acceptance.

For an orphan who has experienced loss, abandonment, rejection and trauma, knowing there is someone out there who cares and wants to see them thrive is life-changing.
