Help Galileo primary school to grow up

About the project

This project is led by Macklean (who is the founder of Uganda Gifted Child Foundation) and Laurent Caparros (a sponsor and consultant for the foundation) in order to build a primary school, named Galileo, that was created for orphaned childen in her community.

The construction has already started and is at an advanced stage (see photo)

Macklean comes from a very modest background in the community of Rushaga, Uganda. It is located at the bottom of the mountain where the famous mountain gorillas are found (a specie endemic to this mountain range) and which are possible to observe in their natural environment.

At the age of 14, she was struggling to pay her own school fees, receiving no support.

Thanks to her determination, she will achieve this on her own by financing her studies through the sales of artisanal products that she will make.

Once her studies are finished, she will decide to put her experience and her determination to the service of other disadvantaged children and will make it her life project.

Today she is happy and proud to have succeeded in improving the lives of these children and the women in her community. This is thanks to the activity of her craftshop, as well as donations made by various people (tourists, local personalities)

However, her goal is to provite access to quality education to every under priviledged child in her community.

This project was launched in 2020 by helping 7 children pay their school fees. This number has since increased to reach 105 children in 2023.

And it continues to grow.

This requires us to now group these children together in the same school because there are no longer any infrastructure capable to accomodate the need.

Until now, income from crafts and donations made it possible to purchase 2 acres of land and begin building the school. But in order to complete the construction, we are still missing 20 000€.

Every donation from you has the potential to help a child get education.

To thank you for your generosity, each donor will have the privilege of having their name displayed within the school.

A few words from the donors

I decided to help Macklean and her team because they did an amazing job in order to give an education to hundred of orphans, homeless and vulnerable children.

Trust is key for this type of project. I am fully confident that with Macklean and her team, this project will come to an end by continuing to support them for the final stages.
