Background:

St. Francis Primary School falls under the Catholic Diocese of Kasese and was started in 2010 by concerned parents, with the help of the local parish, who wanted to provide a solid education grounded on Christian principles. It enrols over 250 students from pre-kindergarten through grade 7, many of whom are from disadvantaged homes or have lost one or both parents. Grade 7 students who graduate from this primary school attend St. Jude Secondary School on the adjacent property. Since Classrooms for Africa has been involved, eight classrooms and an administration block has been built - thank you donors!
