4. Give a regular donation. We are hoping to be able to celebrate 40 years of Nyakabungo's existence in 2024 by sponsoring 40 girls. This takes a regular commitment of £20 per month - the equivalent of 66p per day.

​

Sponsoring a girl at Nyakabungo Girls Secondary School in SW Uganda is a wonderful way to help. Your £20 per month, will help the school provide their food, a place to stay, and other needs while they study at this boarding school in a rural area.

 

The government covers their school fees, but your support helps with their living expenses and pays part-time teachers who aren’t funded by the government. This is especially important in a place where many girls need help.

 

The school’s headteacher and others choose the girls who need the most support. Sometimes, your sponsorship also helps bright students who might not get a chance for a good education.

 

The goal is to support your girl for four years up to O level and, if needed, an additional two years for A level. You can stay in touch with the student through letters or emails, and you’ll get school reports to see the progress.

 

Your help is making a big difference in these girls’ lives and their community.

All it takes is to set up a standing order with your bank or building society.

Please follow this link for more information about how to set this up.
