Our Mission

Our mission is to secure the establishment and development of Uphill Junior School – a privately owned primary school with kindergarten in rural western Uganda.

Our Objectives

Financial support for the school so that it can achieve its stated aims
Permanent classrooms for all year groups to provide a safe place to learn
Good quality sanitation, with private washing facilities for girls
Clean water for drinking, hand washing and cooking
Administration building with clinic for school nurse
Safe, hygienic kitchen block with multipurpose school hall
Sports and play facilities for all the year groups
Assist the day-to-day running of the school whilst it develops self-financing arrangements
Projects that benefit the wider community, when funding is available

With our help, the school is able to employ motivated and well-qualified teachers and teach over 300 girls and boys from the ages of 3-13+ in well appointed classrooms on a secure school site.

The role of The Uphill Trust is to support the school, not to run the school – an approach which is valued by the local community.
