Trust Primary School is a private nursery and primary school in Kaggulwe LC 1, Uganda, serving children aged 3 to 14. Our vision is "Empowering minds, fostering the future." We began with just two children — my daughter, Shalom Ann Mercy, and Doreen, a neighbour's child. By the end of the first year, we had grown to 14 pupils. Because our school is Christian-founded in a mainly Muslim district, some in the community initially feared their children would be converted. But I stayed focused on the children and our vision. Parents who gave us a chance saw their children learning and cared for — and trust replaced fear. Today, Trust Primary School serves 300 children. Muslims are now the majority of our pupils, and they are thankful — we even have the children of sheikhs learning here. The community that once feared us now trusts us with their children. We welcome volunteers who share our belief that every child, of every faith, deserves a strong education.
Paris High School Uganda is a young secondary school located in Eastern Uganda, near Jinja City, established to provide quality education and create opportunities for young people, particularly students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our mission is to nurture academic excellence, Christian values, practical skills, confidence, responsibility, and lifelong learning while helping every student reach their full potential. We believe education goes beyond the classroom. Alongside academic subjects, students participate in sports, agriculture, creative activities, and other school programmes. We welcome international volunteers who can support students through teaching, conversation practice, educational activities, sports, arts, agriculture, and other areas based on their skills and interests. Volunteering with us also provides an opportunity to experience Ugandan culture, education, and community life while taking part in meaningful cultural exchange. As we continue developing the school and working toward greater self-sufficiency through education and agriculture, volunteers become part of our journey to create better opportunities for young people. We welcome kind, responsible, and enthusiastic volunteers who are ready to serve, learn, share their experiences, and make a positive difference in our school community.
