Story

In 2013, UK volunteers visited New Brainstorm, a street school for 90 children in Kawempe – an impoverished district in the slums of Kampala. Volunteer Lisa Peters was inspired by the story of the school's headmaster, Nikolas Kintu, who had transformed from street hawker to headmaster. Back in the UK, Lisa set up a pen-pal scheme to connect her class at Cookham Rise Primary School with their contemporaries in Uganda.

In 2015, the school badly flooded and was threatened with closure. Lisa, together with her school class were determined to save the school and prevent pupils from returning to a life on the streets. The Saving New Brainstorm initiative was born in 2016.

We are fundraising to sustain the school and build a boarding school to cater for 200 of the neediest children. It will create a lasting legacy for Mr. Kintu’s vision and ensure that Ugandan children get the education they deserve.

Thank you for your generosity. It means the world to us and the children it will support.
