About the School's Director

I am Hope Leontina, born in Fort Portal City in Central Division. I grew up as an orphan, having lost both of my parents when I was seven years old. I was uplifted by the late Rev. Fr. Albert Babuza Byaruhanga to attain education. Having experienced a tough childhood and being helped by a priest, I desired to help other children access education by establishing a community school that caters to needy children, providing quality education at a cheaper price. However, as time goes on, managing the school becomes harder due to growing numbers and fewer funds since the children pay less. I seek funds or donations to continue this mission.

I attended St. Peter and Paul's Primary School, Kihembo Hill Memorial College for secondary education, and then pursued a certificate in journalism. Though I am not a teacher, I am a journalist working with Voice of Tooro, driven by a passion to make the world a better place.
