The school was started by HELP Uganda (a registered NGO in Uganda and a project of the US nonprofit HELP International) in 2009 with one teacher and 45 children to provide free education to children living in slum conditions.
The Kyne family has supported the school since 2010 through direct funding to assist with construction and expansion, ongoing sponsorship of individual children, and support for a food programme. The latest expansion will increase the student population from 750 to over 1,000, giving the majority of Masese children access to a safe, sustainable school and a hot meal each school day.
