Rotary Club of Bwebajja Supports St Kizito Primary School with Learning Materials, Tree Planting Drive

What the report says

The Rotary and Rotaract Club of Bwebajja, working with Kakindu Buddy Group, supported St Kizito Primary School Namugonde in Wakiso District with donated scholastic materials and essential supplies, including sanitary pads, blankets and mattresses. The aid was presented as part of the club’s Basic Education and Literacy Project, which it says is meant to improve the learning environment and support vulnerable children.

According to the report, the handover was paired with a tree-planting activity at the school. Rotarians, Rotaractors, teachers and pupils took part, linking the outreach to broader efforts around environmental conservation and climate awareness. The school is in Kakindu, Katabi Town Council, within Wakiso District.

Club president Sylvia Nabakadde said the project was intended to help children stay in school and learn in a safer, more supportive setting. The article says the sanitary pads are meant to help reduce girls’ absenteeism linked to menstrual hygiene, while the blankets and mattresses are for learners’ welfare. The school headteacher, Wataka Michael, thanked the donors and said the items would improve pupils’ wellbeing and focus.

The report also notes that the initiative drew support from other partners, including Mugejjera Richard Yiga of MST Junior School Bwerenga. More broadly, the story fits Rotary’s education and environmental service work, showing how school aid and tree planting are being combined in community projects.
