Our support has helped light up the Rukoki school campus, which is well illuminated at night. Lights were installed in the classrooms for the entire secondary school, the school hall, the library, and the laboratory. Solar lights were also added in the Municipal High Humanist School office. The boys' and girls' dormitories have also benefitted.
Here, we see the solar panels being installed.
And the lights come on:
At Scientific Temper, we are glad to see our support being used to help the pupils. Keep up the good work!

We have received the pictures from the secondary section doing a chemistry practical exam with laboratory material bought with our support.
We also received this video:
The Director of the school writes:
I'm sharing some images of our secondary section students at Municipal High Humanist School doing a practical chemistry examination.
The lab supplies covering apparatuses and reagents have simplified the learning process, and my science teachers, too love to do their work.
Special thanks to Scientific Temper for continuing to support Kasese Humanist School.
With science, we can progress.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Bwambale Musubaho

We are delighted to be working with Kasese Humanist School in Uganda.
We have funded the purchase of various science laboratory equipment, including some essential equipment and reagents required in the laboratory as per the Ugandan curriculum.
The items were earmarked for the Municipal High School Kasese secondary section, which runs Grades 1 - 4 in the secondary school category. We were delighted to see how much the students, staff and management appreciated the support.

The Science Department teaches four main subjects: Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. These subjects require constant practical activity, and the students are required to carry out a variety of experiments.
We also funded the installation of desktop computers in the computer room to enhance computer education.
The school's principal, Robert Bwambale Musubaho, writes: "We are confident that the learning resources in both the computer lab and the science lab will benefit the students and the teachers of the relevant subjects to enhance the academic excellence of our students. On behalf of Kasese Humanist School and Municipal High School, we are very grateful for this support, and we hope that these new achievements will be a great step forward in serving our people".
Scientific Temper looks forward to continuing to work with Kasese Humanist School and will continue to fund their science education.

As Scientific Temper's first project, we are addressing "global support for schools that promote science education", one of our four areas.
The Basis
We believe that good science education, starting in primary school, is one of the best investments we can make in our global future. We believe the impact will be most significant where the education gap is greatest.
The School
We have chosen a school in Kasese, a city in western Uganda where poverty is high, and the school also supports orphans, the Kasese Humanist School. We agree with their statement that "Education is the best legacy you can give your children", with a school "built on the foundation of science" and the understanding that with science, we can progress.
The Kasese Humanist School is built on the principles of science and humanist values, providing a well-rounded education for young people aged 3 to 22. In addition to education, the school also emphasises food security, vocational training and environmental regeneration.

Founded in 2011 by the Kasese United Humanist Association, the school has three campuses. Scientific inquiry is a central part of education, and the school has evolved into a residential facility for orphaned children.
Our Contribution
As a first step, we support purchasing scientific equipment and chemical reagents.
All donations received this year up to May will support the school.
