While we were at KAASO, we talked with Dominic and Rose about how to allocate our funds when there are so many competing priorities. Something that came higher than everything else was safety, so we are delighted to have helped to provide new fire extinguishers at the school.
Here's Nurse Shiba monitoring the Brick-making project. Nurse Shiba is the Chairperson of the newly formed KAASO Staff Development Association, which will issue #microloans to individuals and groups working at KAASO to run #SmallBusinesses to supplement their salaries 👌
10,000 litre water tank delivered and blessed 🙏 and solar power system updated! The old batteries have been replaced, the panels have been cleaned and all is working well 👌 Can't wait to get out there in a couple of weeks and see all of this in-person 😀
Chairs galore! Last year, Unity is Strength supported St Paul KAASO to buy chairs that they could hire out at community events to generate some additional income for the school. This has been very successful and Dominic was keen to expand - so were happy to fund a few more! 🪑🪑
Lovely photos from Dominic 💚 His caption: 'Working with our kids to harvest the maize corn from our school garden. They love this so much.' 🌽🌽🌽🌽
Huge congratulations to the students at KAASO for your AMAZING Primary Leaving Exam results. 43 First Grades and 17 Second Grades 👏🎉🙌🎓 Fantastic to see the celebrations underway! #PrimaryEducationUganda #UgandaSchoolExamResults #UgandaEducationExcellence
Wishing all of our amazing supporters a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you for your generosity 🙏 Your support makes a huge difference! We are so grateful for each and every one of you. This will be our last post for 2022 - enjoy the festive season ☃️ #christmas
It's hard to believe KAASO started with just 12 students in 1999...there are now 707 students and 57 staff members! It is incredible to see how this school and community project have grown over the years 💚
Congratulations to the Top Class on their Graduation, ready to move up to Primary 1 class next year 🎓🤍🎓 (reposted from @kaasouganda on Instagram)

One of the projects for the KAASO Development Association is already underway! Here are some staff and students from KAASO visiting a local training centre to learn how to make bar soap, liquid soap, shampoo, and chalk for the school blackboards 👍
The vision of the staff's Development Association is, "Creating a society where workers have equal and sufficient economic and social opportunities to improve their standards of living and where they can contribute productively towards the overall development of the country."
We are really excited about this! The staff at KAASO have started a Development Association with the vision to issue miroloans to individuals and small groups working at KAASO to run small businesses to supplement their salaries. Chaired by the brilliant Nurse Shiba. More soon!
Happy #GivingTuesday! We 💚 this. "Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbour or stranger out, showing up for something we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts, and everyone has something to give."
It is absolutely amazing to see the Main Hall completed and opened at KAASO! This incredible two-storied building houses a hall with a capacity of 1,000 people downstairs, with three classrooms and two offices upstairs 😮 It is a symbol of hope, development, and pure joy!
