Bukyonza Primary School

Bukyonza is run by the inspiration Head Teacher, Joyce Ndimukika and is situated in a remote enclave of the Kamuli District.  Through her singular vision, a very remote school has become integral to the local community with over 900 children and rising academic standards.  The school has also started a successful nursery class,  providing an important foundation for children before primary school that is so often lacking elsewhere in Uganda.

Completed Projects have included:

  • Built a new 4 Classroom Block - 2007
  • Provided 100 new desks - 2008
  • Built a new teachers’ house for 3 - 2008
  • Renovated a teachers’ house for 2 - 2008
  • Provided 45 beds for dormitory - 2008
  • Installed solar powered lighting - 2009

The new solar panels were commissioned in March 2009 and have proved to be very efficient. With unlimited sunshine in Uganda, the panels are fully charged for the dark evenings.  This enables pupils to continue their work and prep under proper lighting, when they used either to have to resort to dangerous small spirit burners or simply stop work.

Head Teacher:  Mrs Joyce Ndimukika

Number of pupils March 2009:  900 Primary, 66 Nursery
