NULC is proud to be one of the supporters who have
contributed to The Uganda Humanist Schools Trust, which has made great progress
over the last year. UHST now has over 1,000 students being educated between the
three Humanist Schools in Uganda. 
Over the past year £2,800 was used to provide learning
resources for the schools and a further £4,180 was provided to purchase
learning materials and equipment. The computer networks were maintained which
is an essential resource for students to use for Computer Studies as part of
their National Curriculum.
At the Isaac Newton High School in Kateera a great deal of
work has been made to refurbish the school hall to meet the requirements set
out by the Uganda National Examinations Board so students are now in the best
environment to complete their exams.
After a successful appeal, funds were generated for the
construction of a boys’ hostel suitable for 50, the school decided to increase the
build to be used by 96 with the extra cost being paid over three terms which
shows the schools progress towards becoming self-sustainable.
The Trust’s plans for the future include creating a sports
field, library and increasing the number of computers available. By 2016 the
Trust hopes to of helped Schools to become self-sustaining so they are able to
cover their own running costs and are able to set aside budgets to cover the
cost of repairs, maintenance and necessary new developments.
