Every child with a disability deserves education, love, and the opportunity to reach their full potential. School helps children gain communication, self-care, social, and life skills that prepare them for a brighter future. Without education, they face greater risks of isolation, dependence, poverty, and abuse. At St. Francis de Sales School, every child is valued and supported to learn according to their abilities. Admissions are ongoing, and school fees are relatively negotiable. Give your child the chance to learn, grow, and succeed. Enrol today!

What a great milestone we have reached.
What begun as a trial project is bearing promising results.
St.Francis de Sales School - SFDS- Jinja, a special needs school built with funding from Helping Uganda Schools is not only a school but also home to over 100 learners with different disabilities.
Our learners including those with hearing impairment, physically disabilities, albinism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, visually impaired and Time takers are accessing quality but cheap formal education and vocational skills since 2022.
In addition to academics, our children are fully being nurtured to identify, develop and grow their other God given abilities like in sports,games, music and drama.
Livelihood skills are also not left out. Our learners are actively engaged in acquiring employable skills like poultry farming, animal husbandry, agriculture among others.
We are all appreciative of every individual and charities that have journeyed with us in these five years and still stepping into the future.
