We have purchased five acres of land in the city of Kanungu, Uganda to build a primary school that will include grades kindergarten through eighth grade.  We now have 120 children in the Dreamaker program in that city and when our school is completed we will be able to increase that number to  360 children.

The school will enable us to provide a better education, medical care and nutritious meals for the children. It will help in the development of the community by providing them with a quality facility and job opportunities. There is also a fresh water source on the property which will be developed to provide fresh water for the immediate community.

The administrator of the school will be Betty Kasaija who is now the national director of Dreamaker. She has already overseen the building of four schools for Barnhjalp Soluppgang, a Swedish organization, and continues to offer administrative oversight for the operation of these schools. Betty is the wife of Robert Kasaija, senior pastor of The Redeemed of the Lord Evangelical Church in Kampala, Uganda.
