About Us
The Kasiisi Project has worked since 1997 to give rural schoolchildren living near Kibale National Park in western Uganda a chance for a successful future, by funding classroom buildings, scholarhips and related projects, one school at a time. We are a secular, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based near Boston MA, USA.

The Need
Uganda has been racked by war and internal strife since independence in 1962. Life expectancy is 45 years. Annual per capita income is about $280 USD. Primary school is free, but secondary school costs $200-400 per student per year. This is far beyond the means of subsistence farmers and plantation workers who make up some 75% of the populace. Only education can fuel urgently needed economic growth. Most girls do not complete primary school. Just 12% of students go on to secondary school. The stability and future of Uganda - and Africa - depend critically on education. We seek your help building primary schools and funding secondary school scholarships in rural western Uganda. Here is more about Uganda and us.
