A farmers’ group in Kyenjojo that initially focused on agriculture, including livestock farming, tea growing, and banana plantations, has expanded its activities to include investment in education.
The group, which started at the local level in Kyenjojo, is now supporting learners through bursaries and scholarships at primary, secondary, and university levels in different academic disciplines.
Among the beneficiaries are learners at St. Joseph’s Secondary School Buhaara, Holy Family Nursery and Primary School Buhaara in Kabale District, Bright Star Nursery and Primary School in Kyenjojo, and Metropolitan International University, Kisoro Main Campus.
According to Bikogwomuhangi Aron, the Headteacher of St. Joseph’s Secondary School Buhaara, the group has grown from a local initiative in Kyenjojo and is now expanding its support to the national and international level.
He says the school is well prepared to support learners as they prepare for the Uganda Certificate examinations.

Niwamanya says the school has recorded good academic performance, particularly since the third term, which is a promotional term for learners.
