Nursery/Primary

In October-November each year the community workers from KCF begin to identify and select students for the next year's nursery class. Unfortunately finances and facilities limit our intake to 50 - 60 nursery students although there are hundreds who would qualify.

Thanks to special donations from caring supporters we are able to provide the care necessary for those 5 - 6 year olds. The difference between their first day of school in February, when many show signs of malnutrition and disease, to three months later is amazing. Hopefully by the end of their nursery year each student will have a sponsor. If you are interested in sponsoring a student click here.

Following their year at Kibaale's Bunga Raya Nursery School the children enter kindergarten in the Kibaale Community Primary School. During the eight years in primary school the students are increasingly taught in English (the official language of Uganda) and given the opportunity to find and develop their talents. At the end of grade 7 (P7) all students write a state-wide set of examinations that determines if they can go on to secondary school. Kibaale has a success rate of over 90% compared to the district average of 50%.
