Rukundo International 4th Annual Silent Auction

100% of the funds from this auction will be used to support the next phase of construction on Rukundo International Preparatory School. This school will serve many vulnerable children in Uganda. Public schools in the rural area we serve are overcrowded, underfunded, and do not provide opportunities for children to graduate to secondary school for a hopeful future. Our nursery school is currently under construction, and set to open in February, 2018. In order to graduate our upper-level nursery students to 1st grade in 2019, we must raise $60,000 by December, 2018 to finish construction on our primary block serving grades 1-4.

Rukundo International's mission is to empower Kabale, Uganda's most vulnerable populations through educational and economic opportunities that create pathways to self-sustaining communities.

Our flagship program, Rukundo Preparatory School, serves over 200 of the most vulnerable children in rural Uganda. The school operates in a holistic manner, with the goal of creating a healthy educational environment that ministers to the development of the child in totality: intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. It is the school's mission “to create world-changers through the power of high-quality education, love in action, and humble service.”

In addition to our school, we operate a community center, serving over 200 children each Sunday; have a Girl's Empowerment Program in three public schools, with over 1,600 graduates; support 21 local women through our Women's Agricultural Cooperative; and support the educational needs of 52 additional students through our Scholars program.
