Our support for the Kasese School in Uganda in 2024

Scientific Temper has supported the Kasese Humanist School in Uganda through various initiatives to enhance students' educational experiences. This support has been made possible thanks to the generous contributions from our donors, both individuals and foundations, and we hope to continue these activities with their ongoing support.

Highlights

Scientific Temper provided laboratory materials for the secondary section of the Kasese Humanist School. These materials have significantly improved the learning process, particularly in practical chemistry, biology, and physics examinations. The school's director, Robert Bwambale Musubaho, expressed gratitude for the continued support, emphasizing that progress is achievable with science.

With our funding, the school has illuminated the Rukoki school campus, including classrooms, the school hall, the library, and the laboratory. Solar lights were also installed in the Municipal High Humanist School office and the boys' and girls' dormitories. This initiative has enhanced the safety and learning environment for the students.

To further improve the school's learning conditions, we funded 20 classroom chairs, which have been coated with varnish to enhance the students' comfort while learning. The wooden tables were added to the science laboratory, and metallic benches were added to the library, making students' concentration possible while using the library. We will continue to help improve the school's infrastructure.

Acknowledgment and Future Support

These achievements were only possible due to the gracious donations from our supporters. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all donors and hope for their continued generosity in sustaining and expanding these vital activities. The Giordano Bruno Foundation has also pledged its support for Scientific Temper, reinforcing our mission to promote a scientifically open-minded attitude and advance science education.

We also thank Dr Benedikt Matenaer for his involvement in significantly increasing our donations.

The school director, Musubaho, writes, "The future of Uganda lies in empowering young people with education and skills. Science knowledge provides a great foundation for achieving this. Thanks to Scientific Temper for supporting our school project.”

Thanks to donations from and via Dr Benedikt Matenaer, we were able to continue our support of the Kasese Humanist School in Uganda.

This time, our support was used to equip the library. Not everything is finished yet, but the students can already sit more comfortably. The school reports on this on its homepage.

The 20 chairs that are to be set up in the classrooms have been coated with a layer of varnish so that the students at the Municipal High Humanist School, a secondary wing of the Kasese Humanist School, can sit better while learning. The tables are still being worked on.

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,

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.

The school in Kasese announces our donation to equip the science laboratory with equipment and reagents on their website.

They write:

• Science education and an emphasis on critical thinking skills produce better scientists that can advance Uganda in the field of science and technology.
• Scientific Temper joins the list of like-minded charities working with the Kasese Humanist School.

We will report on the use of the funds.
