The Bujagali Trust supports educational projects in Uganda, East Africa. It has developed and now runs a nursery; it supports students in primary and secondary education; and is developing a vocational school. This will equip young people with practical, business and educational skills that can be used throughout the children's lives.

Story

<p>We're getting married on 21 May 2011!!&nbsp; We thought it would be more&nbsp;worthwhile to ask guests and well-wishers to donate to our favourite charity - The Bujagali Trust -&nbsp;rather than buy a gift.</p> <p>This Trust supports education for children in Uganda, with a variety of projects covering nurseries and schools.&nbsp; Activities&nbsp;range from building projects (toilets, water tanks, sick bay) to&nbsp;providing school equipment and sponsoring individual children through the education system.&nbsp;</p> <p>We know all this makes a difference to the children because our family recently visited Uganda and saw the work of the charity first hand.&nbsp; It was amazing to meet the children, teachers and carers who benefit from the support.&nbsp; The photos speak for themselves!</p> <p>The next project is to build a new school, with a medical centre, and we are going to donate the wedding proceeds to this important new venture.&nbsp; A little money goes a long way in Uganda!&nbsp; Thank you very much!</p> <p>Mina and Hamish</p>
