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.
