Primary Education Program
Nyaka students working hard in class
The Primary Education program is currently implemented through free education. The objective of this component is to provide students with quality free education, uniform and books in a nurturing environment suited to their situations. This objective is a part of our larger goal to build a self-sustaining, community-based free primary school for AIDS orphans in Nykagyezi and other villages in Uganda. In this regard, the Nyaka School is an ongoing project that will continue growing each year.
Currently, Nyaka is a full-fledged primary school with 216 students in levels, P1-P7. A second school was opened in 2007 approximately 45 km. away in Nyakashenyi. Kutamba School has 91 students in levels P1-P3.
We will continue to enroll and retain students during in each school year and increase the number of students at each school by 30 each year.
