We have 4 children in Primary 1 currently waiting for sponsors:

Reagan Mulindwa Joseph
Mwanda Samiru
Makyu Nicholas
Opio Charles


Please email us at cuschool@live.ca if you are interested in sponsoring one of them!


Thank you for your interest in sponsoring a child! Sponsorship is $10/month. This goes towards:

1) Uniform: Your first month's donation will cover a uniform for your child. If they already have a uniform, it will go towards a sports uniform or a school sweater.

2) Teacher salaries: Providing salaries at par to what the government schools pay, so that we can hire qualified teachers and encourage them to stay, rather than looking for a different school that can pay more.

3) Food program: We serve lunch and breakfast at the school. We want to continue this, and make it more nutritious by adding meat and fruit daily.

4) Books: Text books and adding to the library

5) Scholastic materials: Things like chalk, paper, pens, prep books, etc.

6) Rebuilding the classrooms: We currently need $4000 to rebuild the nursery classrooms, so they are concrete and brick rather than dirt and tin.

November 2010: Hobbies = Dancing, singing, volleyball

He enjoys playing with toys in his spare time. Kapata lives with his mother, father, 9 year old sister (Kwagala Rita), 3 year old sister (Rose Mary Kirabo, called "Gift") and newborn baby sister (Judith). He has another brother, aged 5, who lives in the village with their grandmother.
