Bringing school closer to the children who need it most
Mbugu is a village in Gombe Sub-County, Wakiso District. Most families here are poor and needy, unable to afford the basic necessities of life. Seeing this, the management of St. Mary's acquired land in Mbugu to provide accessible, quality education to children — especially those from poor and marginalized families.
Many children in the community walk long distances to school and arrive tired and exhausted, which affects their concentration, participation and results. A St. Mary's branch in Mbugu will bring education closer to them and give them a more supportive place to learn.
Our mission is to transform lives through education, promote human dignity, reduce illiteracy, and build a brighter future for all needy children.
From empty land to a full primary school
We will grow the Mbugu branch step by step, building as resources allow, until it serves children all the way to Primary Seven.
Land acquired
St. Mary's has secured sufficient land in Mbugu Village for the new branch.
Build the first three-classroom block
Once funding is secured, we will start with a three-classroom block, each classroom holding 60 to 70 children.
Add at least one classroom every year
We plan to construct at least one more classroom each year — or more, depending on the resources available.
A fully established primary school
Year by year, the branch will grow until it reaches Primary Seven (P.7), serving the needy and marginalized families of Mbugu.
