Help Us to complete Two Classrooms by January 2026

Our school is growing, and we urgently need two additional classrooms to give our children a safe and supportive learning environment.

We are raising USD 3,000 to complete the ground floor of our school building by 20th January 2026. Every contribution—big or small—brings us closer to this goal.

The students of Our Lady Star of the Sea Primary School have expressed their pride in being part of the positive change they want to see in their school. According to them, they are excited to contribute to ensuring the new classroom block is ready for the next academic year!

With enthusiasm and dedication, they rolled up their sleeves to assist in collecting building materials and tidying up the block’s surroundings. This hands-on involvement shows their commitment to creating a better learning environment for themselves and future students.

Together, we're not just building classrooms— we're building a stronger, more vibrant school community!

We are deeply grateful to Madam Annet for generously donating a water tank to Our Lady Star of the Sea Primary School!

This gift has come at the perfect time—our growing number of learners means a greater need for clean and reliable water. Your generosity, Madam Annet, will go a long way in supporting the health, hygiene, and learning environment of our children.

Thank you for making a difference

We are deeply thankful to The Church at the Market in Hamburg for warmly welcoming me and allowing me to share the story of Our Lady Star of the Sea Primary School in Uganda.

It was an incredible blessing to join the church choir and even serve as a soloist during the service. I especially thank Parish Priest Frank for giving me time to speak to the congregation, and extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Chris Siemes and his wife Katharina for organizing this opportunity.

To all who generously contributed to support our school — thank you so much! Your kindness is planting seeds of hope and education in Uganda

Last month, I had the privilege of visiting two wonderful schools in Germany: IGS Rockenhausen in Rockenhausen and Nordpfalzgymnasium in Kirchheimbolanden.

At IGS Rockenhausen, I shared the story of our new school, Our Lady Star of the Sea Primary School in Uganda. The students warmly welcomed the exchange, and we made many new friends. A heartfelt thank you to Marleen, a student at IGS, whose initiative made this meaningful connection possible.

At Nordpfalzgymnasium, I also had the chance to present our school’s journey. We are deeply grateful to this incredible school community for organizing a charity marathon to support our school. Special thanks to Ms. Anke, the school directors, and the entire staff for their leadership and generosity.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. Together, we are building bridges of friendship and hope!

We are excited to welcome back our dedicated volunteers, led by Mr. Des and Ms. Emily, whose return has brought renewed energy and support to our school community.

This time, they came bearing generous donations, including scholastic materials, quilts for children’s bedding, and many other essentials that directly support our learners.

Their ongoing efforts have made a significant impact on the daily progress of our school, and we are deeply grateful for their love, time, and commitment.

Thank you, Des, Emily, and your entire team, for standing with us in shaping a brighter future for our children.
