In the remote hills of Uganda, PEAS Bwesumbu is a lifeline for young people, offering quality education in a community where opportunity is scarce. But the school is full. With your support, we’ll build a 3-room classroom block so more children can access an education that will transform their life.

In Uganda, nearly 1 in 3 girls who start primary never reach secondary. Distance, poverty, and early marriage often force girls to give up their education before they begin. At PEAS Bwesumbu, the story is different. Girls here are learning and thriving, but the school is now full. When places run out, girls risk never starting secondary at all – missing the chance of a better future. Educated girls marry later, earn more, and lift their communities. It all starts with a seat in the classroom.

We’re making room for brighter futures. With your help, we’ll build a 3-room classroom block, creating space for 180 more students every year who will step through the gates and begin a journey that will change their lives. This is more than bricks and mortar: it’s about ensuring that when a girl is ready to learn, a seat is waiting, and her future is shaped by potential, not circumstance. The block will stand for decades, helping thousands learn and thrive, building a fairer future together.
