The Academy

Connect with and directly support the Children’s Care Academy community and school in Bugiri, Uganda.


The Care Children’s Academy is a faith-based Friends (Quaker) nursery and primary school started over two years ago. Schools in Uganda were shut down for Covid-19 longer than in any other country – 22 months. Many could not and did not reopen leaving gaping needs for education. Care Children’s Academy started with 57 children, 4 teachers and many parent and other helpers; it has now grown to 160 children and 8 teachers. This is without any large NGO help, somehow surviving on local leadership, Uganda Yearly Meeting and American Quaker donations.
