Donations to The Kasiisi Project are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. The Kasiisi Project is a secular 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Project passes through over 90% of donations to worthy causes in Africa. An accountant at the Makarere University Biological Field Station near Kasiisi in Uganda monitors the project's accounts continuously in all details. All expenditures are required to have receipts, and all account information and receipts are transferred back to the US at least twice per year for auditing. No money passes through the hands of any staff at the schools with which the Project works.
We generally seek only cash donations. Material goods, while very much needed in Uganda, are expensive, complex and slow to ship overseas and to distribute equitably. Most donations are used for buildings, but an increasing portion goes to scholarships. Please mail a check made out to The Kasiisi Project to the address on the contact page, or donate through PayPal, below.

Funding Secondary School Scholarships
Scholarships in support of secondary school education are the most widespread
need outside of basic school infrastructure. Very few families in Uganda can afford
to send children to secondary school, which costs from $200 per year for day school
to $450 per year for boarding school. Boarding schools are significantly more
effective because children receive reliable nutrition and more individual attention.
