Help Improve Notre Dame High School

Status: In progress

Notre Dame High School, located in Masaka, Uganda was started about 18 months ago. They have enrolled a total of 352 students (187 girls and 165 boys) and have a new target of 550. The students range in age from 11-20 years. There are 5 students between the ages of 21-22 years. There are 7 full time teachers and 10 part-time teachers. The teachers are paid through the funding the school receives from the students who can afford to pay (not all can). Teacher wages are not supported by the government. They had one volunteer teacher, but she unfortunately passed away due to contracting AIDS. The school has a Catholic Priest sent by the local Bishop to attend to the Spiritual needs of the students.

Our project is focused on helping Notre Dame High School become better established and achieve long-term sustainability.
