School for Life Foundation

For 16 years, we’ve been at the forefront of education in East Africa, working with local educators, philanthropists and leaders. We’re building more than schools. We’re creating futures filled with opportunity. Join the community educating poverty out of existence.

Together we did it! Thanks to you, the Post-School Pathways Fund is officially launched. You’ve taken students like Diana further and changed futures. Thank you!

We’ve reached 50% of our Giving Day goal, and every gift is tripled until 9am tomorrow. Let’s keep the momentum going. Donate now, every gift is tripled schoolforlife.org.au/giving-day-2025

Tomorrow, it begins. Together, we got them here. Now, let’s take them further. In Uganda, just 8% of students make it beyond high school, and nearly 1 in 5 young people are unemployed. That’s what we’re changing. Tomorrow, on Giving Day, every donation will be tripled!

From the parents and guardians who see their daughters heading off to school each day, knowing education is opening doors for them, thank you.

When a girl walks into School for Life, everything starts to change. She sees herself differently, stands a little taller, and begins to imagine a life she chooses. Education gives her more than knowledge, it opens doors to power, possibility, and prosperity.

For the children gripping their very first pencil, ready to write their own stories, thank you.

On behalf of the teachers shaping young minds and building prosperity, thank you. You're helping build a fairer, brighter world. One child, one family, one community at a time.

Together, we’re building a future where education creates lasting prosperity.

Big sounds from our littlest learners. In the Baby Class at Mbazzi, phonics time is full of focus, fun and little voices finding their way. Every sound they master is a step toward reading, learning and a future filled with possibility.

At School for Life, education begins with care. Nutritious meals. Access to healthcare. Support that helps children thrive. When children are healthy, they’re ready to learn and step into a brighter future.

Investing in girls' education breaks cycles of poverty and builds resilience. Cissy joined Katuuso in 2011. She worked hard. She found her way. Now she’s helping others do the same. Take a moment to watch Cissy’s story: youtube.com/watch?v=KGquHb…

Together, we’re not just building schools. We’re raising young leaders with the tools to lift their families and communities out of poverty. This is lasting change. Brick by brick, desk by desk, from the school ground up.

$3 million raised at the Gala Ball. You gave generously and helped rewrite the stars for children in East Africa. This is what happens when a community comes together. Thank you for believing in what’s possible.

Thank you to the amazing volunteers who gave their time to make our Gala Ball something truly special. Because of you, the Gala Ball wasn’t just a success. It was unforgettable.

The Gala Ball was a wonderful display of dedication and community. Together, we raised over $1.5 million – and thanks to the generosity of one extraordinary family who matched every dollar, the total impact is more than $3 million. Thank you for being with us.

Hamish Blake and his wonderful family recently visited our schools in Uganda, meeting students and staff and seeing our community in action. His energy, kindness, and warmth shone through. The children loved him – and we can’t wait to see him at the Gala Ball!

Zoe Foster Blake visited Uganda with husband Hamish and their children. Long-time friends of our community, it was a privilege to welcome them. There’s something powerful about seeing it for yourself – Zoe’s words say it perfectly. See her post below:instagram.com/reel/DIyKUDivl…
