Sponsor a Child to go to School in Uganda

Education is the key to escaping a lifetime of poverty. 

By partnering with the Dugdale Charitable Trust to sponsor a child at the David Tyler School in Uganda, you are investing in the future of a child, their family and future generations. 

There are 50 children on the waiting list.

$300 a year provide one child with school fees, uniform, stationery and school lunches. When you sponsor a child you will receive a photo and some information about the child you will be supporting at this school.

 100% of all donations go directly to the David Tyler School in Uganda.

This is a year by year committment and so if you do not want to continue the following year you can let us know.

We will keep contact by email during the year with updates and photos of happenings at the school.

The Dugdale Charitable Trust partnered with the David Tyler Nursery and Primary School in Uganda to replace the old inadequate school structures (see photos below) with a new purpose built school. (next page) This school now has 10 classrooms, a kitchen, toilets and staff accommodation for 6 teachers. The new school caters for up to 300 children. 

Our contact at the school is Daniel Kyaterekera. He has committed his life to supporting and educating some of the 2.5 million orphans living in poverty in Uganda. 

There are no free education or welfare systems in Uganda. The fees at the David Tyler School are kept to a minimum to make it possible for more children to attend school. 

Due to the impact of COVID causing loss of jobs and small businesses, many families are no longer able to pay the school fees. As a result, only a small number of children are returning to school after a year of schools being closed. The Trust is working with the David Tyler School to support children who may otherwise miss out on an education.

To sponsor a child to attend school for one year if you live in New Zealand and are eligible for an I.R.D discount, we invite you to make a one off donation of $300 to the Trust ANZ account in New Zealand.
