Kasaka Nursery & Primary School

We built Kasaka Primary & Nursery school in January 2008, we teach the Ugandan National Curriculum with a Christian emphasis.  The school is situated in a poor small village about 35 km (21 miles) from Masaka.  Our Nursery was added to the school in 2016.

The school serves a group of small fishing villages and communities spread over an approximate radius of 16miles, some of our children walk 8 miles to school.

We have 9 classes and employ 15 teachers, including our head teacher, we also employ a bursar/site manager, 2 cooks, a caretaker and night guards.

Because this is a rural school and transport is poor we supply housing for about 18 staff including the teachers on site.

We currently have 10 completed classrooms, a library and staff room all of which have been built to an exceptionally high standard, paid for by generous donations by LIA supporters.

We have an advisory School Management Committee chaired by Love in Action Directors comprising of Local Leaders, Parents, Teachers and a Pupil.

In April 2009 the school was granted a Registration Certificate by the Ugandan Ministry of Education, we are now a registered examination centre so that our pupils can sit their Primary Leaving Examinations at our school.

Our projects

Help us help

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 2021 all our pupils passed this exam. There is more information on this school here

CLIA 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.

School Generator

Please help us to supply power to the schools.

Our schools do not have access to mains electricity, the nearest line is over 7 mile away through the forest. We have a number of solar systems that give light in the evenings and run a small computer lab. However we really need to replace the worn out small generator that runs our water pump and give some extra capacity for power to some of the classrooms. We would like to purchase a 20Kva gererator with a Perkins engine at a cost of about £9000 installed.

The cost of this project is about £9,000 of which we have raised about £1000 so far.
