Kasaka Nursery & Primary School

Christ’s Embassy Primary School, Kaska: Providing Quality Christian Education

 

A School Built on Faith and Excellence

Christ’s Embassy Primary & Nursery School was established in January 2008 with a mission to provide high-quality education grounded in Christian values. We follow the Ugandan National Curriculum, integrating a faith-based approach to learning that nurtures both academic excellence and character development.

Located in a rural village 35 km (21 miles) from Masaka, our school serves children from small fishing villages and communities spread over a 16-mile radius. Some of our pupils walk up to 8 miles each day to attend school, demonstrating their commitment to learning despite the challenges they face.

In 2016, we expanded the school by adding a Nursery section, ensuring that young children receive a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Academic Success and Growth

Our Primary School has continued to grow and achieve outstanding academic results. We are proud to report that in 2024, all our Primary 7 pupils passed their Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE):

  • 2 pupils achieved First Grade
  • 23 pupils achieved Second Grade
  • 100% pass rate – no failures

This success is a testament to the hard work of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the support of our community and sponsors.

Today, the school has over 350 pupils and continues to expand.

Our Facilities and Staff

Christ’s Embassy Primary School has 9 classes and employs a team of 15 dedicated teachers, including our Head Teacher. To support the school’s daily operations, we also employ:

  • A bursar/site manager
  • Two cooks
  • A caretaker
  • Night guards for school security

Due to the remote location and limited transport options, we provide on-site housing for 18 staff members, ensuring that our teachers and key personnel can live close to the school and serve the students effectively.

Our school facilities include:

  • 10 fully completed classrooms
  • A well-equipped library
  • A dedicated staff room

All buildings have been constructed to an exceptionally high standard, funded through the generous donations of Love in Action supporters.

Community Involvement and Governance

Christ’s Embassy Primary School is managed by an Advisory School Management Committee, which provides guidance and oversight. This committee is chaired by Love in Action Directors and includes:

  • Local leaders
  • Parents
  • Teachers
  • A pupil representative

This collaborative approach ensures that the school remains responsive to the needs of the community while upholding the highest standards of education.

In April 2009, the school was officially granted a Registration Certificate by the Ugandan Ministry of Education, recognizing our commitment to educational excellence. Additionally, we are a registered examination centre, allowing our pupils to sit their Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) at our school, reducing the challenges of traveling to external exam centres.

Building a Brighter Future

Our vision is to continue expanding and improving Christ’s Embassy Primary School, providing quality education to even more children in need. However, we rely on donations and support to maintain and develop our facilities.

Christ's Embassy Primary School, Kasaka

Christ’s Embassy Primary School, Kasaka

Our Nursery & Primary School provides education for children from 4 to 14 to a high standard. In Uganda after 2 or 3 years of nursery school children complete 7 years of primary education at the end of which they take a national exam (Primary Leaving Exam – PLE). In 2024 all our pupils passed this exam. There is more information on this school here

LIA Christian Secondary School, Kasaka

Love in Action Christian Secondary School

Our Secondary School set in a village called Kasaka, near Lake Victoria provides 4 years of education leading to O Level National exams. We currently have around 100 pupils. In 2021 all our pupils passed their exams and we were place in the top 30% of all secondary schools in Uganda.

Kasaka Health Clinic

We built and equipped a much needed Health clinic in Kasaka

With the help of a group of British medical students, we have been able to build and equip a much needed Health clinic in Kasaka. This will provide healthcare where it is most needed.

At present, we employ 2 full-time nurses. They are responsible for the healthcare of the children at both schools. Each child has a health check every term, and a vaccination service is offered to all our children.

Farm

In 2020 we planted about 8 acres of coffee plants to help provide income for the schools

As a responsible organisation we need to be working towards generating income within Uganda to support the work amongst children and young people. With this in mind we have allocated land at our Kasaka site to run a farm. We are able to grow sufficient maize to provide porridge for all our primary school children every day. We also breed and rear pigs both for sale and to gift to families around the area.

Boarding Section

Help us allow children to board at school

It is very common for students in Uganda to board at school and following the COVID epidemic and our excellent exam results more pupils would prefer to board at school. During 2020 we were able to build dormitory for 40 girls and the picture show our latest building for the boys. We now need to equip this building with beds, mattresses, a solar lighting system and curtains. To do this will cost £7000 please help us buy buying an item for this new dormitory. See our shop page here for the items we need.

Mini Bus

Help us purchase a newer minibus

Our mini bus has served us well for about the last 7 years, but is now getting old and is too small for the number of children we look after! We plan to replace it with a 30 seater mini bus.

Powering Our Schools for a Brighter Future

The Challenge: No Mains Electricity

At Love in Action, we are committed to providing quality education and healthcare to children and families in rural Uganda. However, one of our biggest challenges is the lack of access to mains electricity at our schools.

Currently, we rely on a small solar system that provides only limited power, and when this is insufficient, we are forced to use a diesel generator. This comes with high fuel costs, noise pollution, and an environmental impact, making it an unsustainable long-term solution.

To provide a more reliable and sustainable source of power, we need to upgrade our solar system.

Our Solar Power Upgrade Plan

To meet the energy needs of our schools, we plan to install a 10KW lithium battery solar system, which will provide consistent, renewable power for lighting, classrooms, computer use, and essential school operations.

Planned System Components:

8 x 550W solar panels – Efficient energy collection for reliable power generation.

5KVA inverter – Converts solar energy into usable electricity for the school.

10KW lithium battery – Stores energy for use during cloudy days and evenings.

Benefits of Upgrading to a High-Capacity Solar System:

Eliminates reliance on our diesel generator – reducing fuel costs and environmental impact.

Provides a stable power supply – ensuring continuous learning without electricity interruptions.

Enables better education – allowing the use of computers, projectors, and lighting for evening study.

Supports the health clinic – ensuring power for medical equipment and essential services.

Long-term sustainability – reducing operational costs and supporting environmental conservation.

Cost & How You Can Help

The total cost of this solar power upgrade is £6,000. This will provide a long-term, sustainable solution to our schools’ electricity needs.

We are seeking donations and sponsorships to help us fund this essential upgrade.

Ways You Can Support This Project:

📌 Make a Donation – Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to our goal.

📌 Fundraise for Us – Organise an event or campaign to support this project.

📌 Sponsor a Solar Panel – Contribute towards one of the 8 panels (£100 each).

📌 Corporate Sponsorship – Businesses and organisations can partner with us for sustainable energy solutions.

Be Part of the Solution

Access to reliable electricity is a game-changer for education and healthcare in our community. By supporting this project, you will help us create a stable, sustainable learning environment for hundreds of children, ensuring they have the resources they need to succeed.
