📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
St. Gonzaga Primary school and Rescue Centre was established by the Brothers of St. Charles Lwanga in the year 2005 to provide quality basic needs such as education, meals and shelter to vulnerable children from especially difficult circumstances. The centre provides elementary education to kindergarten and primary school children with the focus on orphans and vulnerable children from poor background within the society. The school offers social work services to both children and parents in order to create strong bond between the community and the school. The social work element too helps in building strong family unit.
The school provides education to boys and girls and takes gender issues as well as children's rights very seriously. St. Gonzagas first graduates are doing their fourth year education in different universities in the country. The school is very well academically, socially and morally, this helps the students and enhances discipline and order to the learners and the community at large.
