St. Paul’s Mutorele Secondary School in Kisoro District is seeking 345 million shillings to address key infrastructure, academic and staff welfare needs.
The funds will be used to acquire a school bus, generator, solar power systems, floodlights and instructional materials, as well as improve staff welfare, among other priorities.
The school head teacher, Charles Mbonyebyombi, says the lack of a school bus has forced the institution to hire vehicles for educational trips at a high cost.
He adds that frequent power outages disrupt night preparations and examinations, making alternative sources of power a priority.
Mbonyebyombi says addressing these challenges will create a better learning environment, improve academic performance and attract more students to the school.

The Jubilee Mass was led by the Dean of Mutorele Deanery, Reverend Father Joseph Sebatware, who called for unity, love and a focus on activities that contribute to community development.
