Profits in October

October was another great month as we funded 13 teachers at The Early Learning School, Entebbe.

Food prices have tripled in Uganda therefore we are now sending more money to go towards food to ensure the children aren't hungry.

We had a wonderful trip to Uganda last month and seeing the impact of coffee was incredible.

Thank you for your support & love of coffee!

Kickstart's purpose

  • Education

    To ensure that children in the local community have an education and are able to fullfil their hopes and dreams. We support The Early Learning School in Entebbe, Uganda. The school is home to 160 children from 3-13 years. The children who attend school are from families that can not afford school fees. These children would not be attending school without your support.

  • Funding teachers

    We value and love teachers! Through funding the teachers monthly salaries the children at The Early Learning School are able to attend school without paying school fees.

    In total there are 19 full time teachers and 12 support staff to support every month.

  • Food for school & community

    We provide food for the children attending the school. The children get porridge for breakfast and rice/posho and beans for lunch.

    Maize and matoke are grown locally on a farm near Kampala which is linked to the school.

    We also provide food for the single mothers and grandparents whose children attend the school.

    Our aim is to also provide fruit to support growth and development.

Tree planting in Uganda

We plant Matoke (planain) plants in Uganda to provide food for the local community as well as off setting our emissions.

Providing food to the local community is an important part of our project and ensure that the children come to school with a full tummy.
