School for Life Foundation (SFL) is a non-profit organization working in rural Uganda. We build holistic education models to empower communities to help themselves.

To date we have raised more than A$4 million and mobilized the support of thousands of people around the world who have helped us:

• Build 2 schools (with a third commencing construction in July 2017);
• Educate 560 students annually;
• Employ more than 120 adults as managers, teachers, construction workers, cooks and support staff;
• Provide 3 nutritious meals a day for all our staff and students;
• Provide clean drinking water sources (tanks and boreholes) to 2 rural communities;
• Provide 2 health clinics with full-time nurses to treat students and staff, decreasing absenteeism and increasing overall health for the community;
• Build bio-digesters and solar electricity systems to increase our projects’ sustainability for the long-term; and
• Build sustainable businesses including a women’s tailoring program called KUMI which employs 15 women as tailors, a piggery and goat farm.
