Bukasa Primary School currently serves 593 pupils in a community where access to quality education remains fragile. The school faces major infrastructure and social challenges that continue to affect learning, safety, health, and student retention.

At present, only 3 pit latrines serve all 593 pupils, creating serious sanitation and health risks, especially for girls. The school also has no perimeter fence, leaving pupils and school property vulnerable to insecurity and vandalism. In addition, the school lacks a technology or computer learning space, preventing pupils from gaining essential digital literacy skills needed for modern education and future opportunities.

The school recorded over 80 dropouts in the last academic year, mainly due to teenage pregnancy and the inability of vulnerable families to pay school fees.

This initiative aims to address these urgent challenges through four key interventions:

• Construction and equipping of a dedicated technology classroom with computers, internet access, and trained facilitators.
• Construction of additional gender-segregated sanitation facilities to improve hygiene, dignity, and girl-child retention.
• Installation of a secure perimeter fence to improve safety and protect school property.
• Implementation of a dropout prevention programme, including bursaries for vulnerable pupils and adolescent health and life-skills support programmes.

The vision of the initiative is to ensure that every child at Muyenga Bukasa Primary School has access to a safe learning environment, adequate sanitation, and the tools needed to succeed in the modern world. The project focuses on keeping children in school and ensuring that no pupil is left behind because of where they were born.
