Let Her Stay in School,
and Learn
Kaleke Kasome is a Luganda word that literally translates to mean "Let her stay in school, and learn" — breaking down every barrier so that every child in Mpigi District can access quality education.
Breaking the Barriers to Education
Poverty, cultural norms, and a lack of basic materials keep countless children — especially girls — out of the classroom in Mpigi District, Uganda. Our Education Support program directly addresses each of these barriers.

"I used to sell mandazi on the roadside instead of going to school because my parents couldn't afford my fees. KAKAF paid for everything — my uniform, my books, even transport. I passed my exams with top grades. I want to become a lawyer so I can defend children like me."— Mary T., Scholarship Recipient, Mpigi District 2023
Education Changes Everything
In Uganda, over 30% of children drop out of primary school due to financial constraints. For girls, the rates are even higher, as cultural expectations often prioritize domestic work and early marriage.
Every child we keep in school represents a future nurse, teacher, lawyer, or entrepreneur who will go on to transform their entire community. Education is not just a right — it is the most powerful tool for lasting change.
