VOLUNTEERING IN AFRICA Nyaka AIDS ORPHANS SCHOOL Uganda

Welcome to the NYAKA Volunteer and Visitor Guide
Nyaka AIDS Orphans School was started in 2001 to offer education to AIDS orphans in
Kambuga, Kanungu District, in Southwestern Uganda. Nyaka is a primary school
offering free education to AIDS orphans. Nyaka School is helping to mitigate the
impacts of an illiterate society and provide these children with a future.

In 2008, Nyaka school will become a full-fledged primary school for levels 1-7.
Enrollment currently stands at 210 students. In 2007, the Nyaka model was replicated
in a village 48 miles away. Kutamba School has 90 students in levels 1-3.
