Secondary School

We are delighted to inform you of the achievements of 67 of our children. The Ugandan education system runs differently than that of the United States. Rather than the familiar August to May schedule, the Ugandan school year lasts from February to December each year, which means these children are getting ready to start their secondary education.

Children in Uganda are in primary school for seven years, Primary 1 through Primary 7. At the end of Primary 7, nationwide tests are administered to the children. These tests are long and difficult, weeding out students that didn't full grasp all of their course material. This is the test that your child just completed.

These test scores determine whether or not a child will be invited to attend a secondary school. Secondary school is a great accomplishment, and the admissions process is much similar to University admissions in the United States. We are so excited for these children, and we know they will do great in secondary school.

However, this secondary education comes with its cost. It is a boarding school, so the children will be away during the school year, coming back to the orphan village during breaks. Tuition and books exceed what regular sponsorship can cover. Would you be willing and able to help with the extra cost so that these children can go on to secondary school? It will run $250 extra per school term which comes to $750 per year for them to go to secondary school. Could you donate to their education before February or add an additional $63 to your current sponsorship each month?

We would be so grateful if you could help out some of these children to continue their education. Please pray about it and let us know if you are able to help. You can contact the Orphan Department at orphans@christianlifeministries.org.
