COBURWAS Primary School

COBURWAS Primary School is located in Kyangwali Refugee settlement, Hoima District-Western part of Uganda.  The school is for children in kindergarten through seventh grade.

Orphans enroll for free at the COBURWAS Primary school, where they receive a school uniform, two decent meals each day, and, most importantly, an education.

COBURWAS Primary school also admits other students for the community for a fee, bringing the total enrollment to forty students each year.

History:

In February 2007, Wereje Benson shared the idea of starting a school for orphans where children could learn in a safe and loving environment. Two years later, February 2009, this dream became a reality. The land was donated by the UNHCR/camp commandant in December 2007 and the COBURWAS Club members and the community of Kyangwali then started the construction of the building in the refugee settlement.

The success of the school and demand for more educational opportunities has led to an extension of the CLC into a primary school in 2010.

The vision is:

To empower our students to choose their path in life and contribute to positive change in their communities. 

The mission is:  

To promote the most excellent development of each students’ intellectual capabilities, to develop strong moral character and empower social responsible leaders who will contribute to positive change in their communities.
