Kids who need a school to call their own!

Rubanda Solidarity School started operating in 2005 becoming the first private school in Rubanda to curve out a particular program for vulnerable and most disadvantaged children in the community. The school runs two separate programs of education from the same facility:  Nursery and Day and Boarding Primary school education. Our vision remains that of creating and having a better life through offering of equal opportunities for quality education to both girl and boy child alike in the community that is predominately male sensitive.  
We currently use the same provisional facilities for both primary and nursery school students due limited funds to construct an independent nursery school. This has lots of disadvantages as it limits our desire for more care according to different age groups especially the most youngest of them all. 

Our nursery school enrollment age  is six years. However, many times we have exceptions for much younger children who may be having serious social problems and need immediate support. The school hosts  over 310 students who love to call it their second home. The 85 of those kids are in the nursery school and badly in need of facilities and a permanent school to call their own. For they are being generously hosted by the primary school section. 
Our top priority therefore is to fully get engaged locally and globally looking for funds to construct a new nursery school that will provide more space for efficiency and improved environment for healthy development and education. 

Thank you for being interested in our activities to make a difference in the lives of children in Rubanda.

Hello Visitor, 

These photos below will drive you into the real life at Rubanda Solidarity School. They give you a taste at a glance of our fruits with our kids and their academic performances in a period of three years when we have had the Uganda Primary Leaving Examination (UPLE). Since the begining of our school, ten years ago, our policy has always been, never think of a child's development unless your menu has ingredients to improving their conditions of life, Equal opportunities of quality education for both girl and boy child, integral development ( physical, social, spiritual and academic). Like Aristotle, educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all, we strive to invest all we have for the well being of our children in the school. These are children who would someone else if there were no hearts of love. And love would be meaningless if it did not have the designer. Faith and God are so important to the world of love and peace for all. This is a big drive behind all the difference made. Their health and their school performances tell it all. 

Please, if you are already part of us contributing in any way toward this progress, join the community, staff, children, the US and UG. Yamba Abaana to appreciate all our efforts made so far. And if you are a new visitor, still deciding what your contribution could be, we welcome you to our blogger to learn more about us. Our success is an effort of so many people whom God has blessed with so big and generous  hearts. One day you may be part of us.  Enjoy the photos. 

31 UPLE Candidates for 2015:
For the second time in history we have broken the record of our male culture.
We had more girls than boys in the class of candidacy of 2012 as it will for 2015. 
Out of 31 students, we have 18 girls and 13 boys.
This is a fascinating story in a culture with  strong male dominance 
even toward quality education.
We are very proud of this progress made toward equality.
We pledge to continue to promote our vision and Mission..
 We wish you a wonderful final year with us at our school .
Remember,  we are praying for you to fly like 
butterflies at your exams this coming year.

Good teachers are mothers and fathers of a nation as parents are to a family.  
 It takes lots of energy and time to find the right people to do the right job. 

Rubanda Solidarity has found that rare team to make a difference. 

That makes our school unique and a welcoming home .

How wonderful it is to have you all.
