Rusaka Bright Future Junior School is an English elementary school, including Nursery and Primary school, with eleven classes in total in the district of Hoima. Rusaka Bright Future is part of the more extensive community move that thrives to uplift the community’s well-being through quality education.
Julius Kaszigazi founded the school in 2007 to respond to the new governmental education laws. This change allowed for +100 children per classroom with one teacher and was the founding stone for following his mission to provide quality education at affordable prices at Rusaka Bright Future. Besides teaching, Julius is the pastor of the local community church and the founder of the NGO “Have and Show Mercy,” which takes care of the most vulnerable individuals in the community.
At the end of 2022, we were already able to finalize the playground and install water harvesting in the form of two 10.000-liter water tanks. Beginning of 2023, we finished the existing four classrooms and another two classroom blocks that still needed proper ceilings, floors, windows, doors, paint, and furniture. For the remainder of 2023, we will continue constructing eight new classrooms to eliminate the current wooden classroom structures, a well, and new restrooms.
In 2023, we will have completed all necessary buildings for hosting all Nursery and Primary Classes in proper facilities with a sustainable water supply and new restrooms. But what happens to the Primary 7 graduation candidates? Some might have the money to continue Secondary School, but Secondary School Fees are incredibly high, and most normal farmers can’t afford them. We already could acquire the necessary property, so let’s change this together!
