Race to Build the Houses!!!

We are currently raising funds to repair each of the houses at the school, but we cannot begin construction until we have the full 80,000,000/= ($40,000) needed to repair a house. This amount includes power, water, toileting facilities, etc. in addition to the infrastructure of the buildings. People have already generously contributed… but we’re not quite there.

So far we’ve raised:

1). Balya House: 11,625,000/=

2). Komwiswa House: 6,800,000

3). Commander House: 2,300,000

4). Apollo House: 1,650,000

5). Kasagama House: 1,400,000

6). Cooper House: 1,300,000

7). Damalie House: 1,150,000

8). Perens House: 0

THE FIRST HOUSE TO REACH THIS TARGET IS THE FIRST HOUSE TO BE REPAIRED.

A Huge Success

For those who attended the Nyakasura School Alumni Dinner on 15th May, you already know what a huge success the event was. This evening marked the beginning of the revival of the school. The Board of Directors of the newly formed Nyakasura School Alumni Limited planned the event and only expected about 150 people to attend... but nothing could keep the Old Boys and Girls of Nyakasura School away from the chance to support their school. Nearly 300 people crowded into the conference hall at the Protea Hotel on Saturday night.

The evening was remarkable. Guest speakers included, but are not limited to Professor Edward Rugumayo, Honorable Tim Lwanga, General Tinyefuza, Honorable Beatrice Kirase, Mr. Patrick Bitature, and Honorable Adolph Mwesige.

Together this group of Alumni pledged to give US$150,000 (Ug Sh 300,000,000/=) an amount that is truly remarkable in one night of fundraising.

Pictures and videos of the speeches will be posted soon. So come back tomorrow to learn more about the event, the future plan and upcoming events.

To all those who attended, I thank you.

For those who were unable to attend, please know that it is not too late to be a part of the revival of the school. Join us at upcoming events or make your donations to Equity and/or Stanbic Bank.

Together we can look forward to a brighter future for Nyakasura School.
