The official opening day of Katuuso Primary & Vocational School, Uganda.
The day shows what has been achieved with the collaboration of the local community, the generosity of our sponsors, and five years hard work from the School for Life team.
The school was officially opened by our long time supporter and special guest Hon Amelia Kyambadde MP – Uganda’s Minister for Trade and Industry.

We’d love to see you at our inaugural Melbourne Cocktail Party next Friday 10th May at 7pm! We are delighted to have celebrity funny woman Julia Morris hosting the event and lots of yummy canapes, drinks and entertainment. If you haven’t already, make sure you hurry to purchase your tickets HERE! This is certainly an event you would be silly to miss!

This year, we are excited to be raffling an Audi A3 at our Black Tie Ball! Tickets are $50 each or 3 for $100 and you don’t even have to be present to win.

On the 18th April, we were honoured to host 30 friends, family and supporters from Australia to mark the official opening of Katuuso. The occasion was attended by over 600 local people, including the Foreign Minister for Trade, Honourable Amelia Kyambadde who cut the ribbon and officially opened the school. The women donned their finest Gomasi, the traditional Ugandan dresses, and the men their smartest Kanzu. The day was celebrated with a traditional ceremony and a musical play by the Katuuso students dramatising life during and after their education at Katuuso. This was followed by lots of singing and dancing and a large feast donated by the entire community and prepared by the local Mummas. It was a day we and the local community will never forget and we are so grateful to everyone who contributed towards making the event such a tremendous success!
