February 21, 2025: Kiwale Church of Uganda (COU) Primary School, once struggling with makeshift classrooms and a lack of proper learning facilities, received a major boost through the support of the Safal Uganda Baati Foundation in partnership with the Rotary Club of Bweyogerere Namboole. The Foundation supported with roofing a new four-classroom block for the local school, to ensure that the 3,000 children in Kiwale Village, Buikwe District, have a safe and conducive environment to learn from.
Kiwale COU Primary School is a community and church-founded institution, established in 2016 to provide education to children who previously had no access to schools within a 4-5-kilometer radius.
As part of the ‘Adopt a School’ model, the Rotary Club of Bweyogerere Namboole adopted the school for support in 2018, in collaboration with the Church of Uganda, Seeta Archdeaconry and Mukono Diocese. To complete the construction of a four-classroom block and a two-stance pit latrine in 2022, the Rotary Club sought support from Safal Uganda Baati Foundation.
Speaking at the Classroom block commissioning, George Mubiru, the Manager Safal Uganda Baati Foundation said, “Education is a fundamental right for every child and it’s also important that they are able to have facilities that aid proper learning. Previously sitting outside, we are glad that now the children of Kiwale village can sit under a proper roofed building safe from the harsh weather conditions like rain or heat.”
“We remain committed to making a difference in the communities, ensuring that children have a quality education in a safe and secure environment. We are grateful for partnerships which enable us to reach communities and drive meaningful impact,” Mubiru said.
The President of the Rotary Club of Bweyogerere Namboole, Michael Nuwagaba and the school’s administration thanked Uganda Baati for its contribution, “The facility will now accommodate hundred of pupils It providing a safe and conducive environment for education, and we are grateful to Safal Uganda Baati Foundation for their generous support in making this a reality.”
The successful completion of this project highlights Safal Uganda Baati Foundation’s dedication to sustainable community development. Through such initiatives, the foundation continues to enhance the well-being of communities and contributing to national development.
