Welcome!

The Apac School Project, started after a local Ugandan woman by the name of Hellen Owani, traveled back to her birthplace of Northern Uganda to see the situation the children were in. After two decades of war, many children were left orphaned. The reality is, that instead of being in school studying, children are forced to look for ways to survive. Many of the children find work carrying water, making bricks, and in more dangerous fields such as prostitution.

The original plan was to build quite a large school complexe with two classes for each grade, going up to P.7. The cost of this was significantly more expensive, and as we made elaborate plans for fund-raising to begin, two little girls who were registered to attend school passed away. They died from something most of us will never have to worry or even think about, malnutrition.

This really made us re look at the school’s plans, and purpose. Since then, we have decided to build a seven classroom school and add on more classrooms later.
The seven classrooms will include:
Baby Class(for children 3-4 years old)
Middle Class(for children 5-6 years old)
Top Class(for children 7-8 years old)
Primary 1, Primary 2, Primary 3, and Primary 4.

The Apac School Project has two main missions:

1) To build a primary school to educate the poorest children from Apac, who otherwise would not have a chance to attend school.

2) To build a vocational center, were we can educate teenagers and young adults on
income generating skills that will help them earn a decent living.
