The impact of one school, transforming a community, shaping a generation.
Our Impact
At Nabugabo, impact means transformation, not charity. Through education, care, and opportunity, we are changing the trajectory of children’s lives and strengthening the community around them. Our work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring every action, from classroom learning to girls’ safety, teacher development, and community wellbeing, contributes to long term, measurable progress. The ripple effect extends beyond our school gates, reaching families, secondary students, and the next generation.
