We are a school and art project in Majengo town in district Kasese, Uganda, East Africa. The vision is to provide education for every child in and around Kasese. We want to empower children to develop their own ideas and to be strengthened in their creativity. Therefore the main focus is to integrate art in the daily time table of the school and to cooperate with local artists in order to support children to develop future perspectives.
There are currently around 100 children of ages 3-15 years visiting the school. Many parents of those children can not afford school fees. Our goal is to offer them free education. In 2019 we started a cooperation with World´s Education, an organization supporting education projects around the world.
We invite you to join us and teach alongside the local staff to positively impact the lives of these youngsters. Plus, why not have another place in the world you can call home? You require no previous teaching experience to become a part of our team. Just a heart to share the little skills you might have that these kids can use in their day to day lives.

This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
You will immerse yourself in the Ugandan culture, and learn to look at the world from the local's perspective.
You'll also learn the local languages, dances and a taste of the local cuisine.
We have different types of work. Besides teaching the children we are always looking for people who like to share or develop new teaching methods with our teachers . You are also very welcome if you are interested in arts and would like to help us organize art exhibitions, cultural events and to network with local artists. Ecological farming is also becoming a big part of our project since we want to provide meals with our own grown food. As we need to expand our school buildings there is always opportunity to help with construction sides or to create furniture.
