Kassanda Seed School – Get Schooled – Helping Kids in Uganda Succeed

Meet the Teachers | Meet the Students

This school has been a dream of Kassanda Children’s Aid since their conception in 2012. When we first hear there was land for sale that had a ‘school’ on it, we were interested in hearing more. There was a teacher or two continuing to show up despite not having been paid for months and a smattering of local children that would show up every once in awhile. No one could afford school fees, but we saw potential and believed in Vincent and his team.

With Vincent’s vision, we saw potential and believed in his dream. We were also looking for a way for our Get Schooled Project to continue serving the most vulnerable of children. Located in Jjemba Village just outside of Kassanda, the school now employs 14 teachers, a security person, a cook and services approximately 200 students from the area from nursery school to Primary 7.

The land and dilapidated buildings were donated to KCA and with generous donors, and in a very short time since 2020, we have rebuilt the structures, provide new latrines, a high efficiency cooking stove to save fuel, a reliable van, a security gate and cameras, built girls’ and boys’ dorms with storage and new bathrooms, built new classrooms, an office and provided school uniforms, playground equipment, band instruments, sports equipment and provide a better learning environment with chairs, desks, teaching supplies, blackboards, paper/school supplies, a printer, and solar lights.
