Outcomes since creation

FAWE Uganda began to engage the school administration and management for transformation of Bukomero Senior Secondary School into a Centre of Excellence in February 2009. The intervention was positively received.  After the vision workshop, as a way of showing their commitment, the parents came together and formed small committees by sub-county to mobilise funds at community level to start the activities defined in the action plan for the school.
