Doing Good :  2015, 2016, 2017, 2018

Good Deeds Day is an annual celebration uniting over 60 countries around the world in doing good deeds that was initiated in 2007 by businessperson and philanthropist, Ms. Shari Arison, of Arison Group. She believes that, “If people will think good, speak good and do good, the circles of goodness will grow in the world”.
This year, we are glad to celebrate the memorable DOING GOOD Day with the several Communities in Uganda.

KABAALE PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL - HOIMA

Kabaale Public Primary School (KPPS) is a Community/Government Aided (UPE) school founded in 1964 by the Church of Uganda. As of January 2018, the school had 1,141 Pupils (610 Boys & 531 Girls) and only 15 Teachers. The influx of Pupils to this school is due to closure of other neighboring schools.

SBC (Uganda) Ltd a sister company of SBI (Uganda) connected electricity to the school, equipped the school with 15 Computers and Work Stations and sponsored an ICT teacher to train the pupils and teachers for one year at the school. The presence of a workforce with good ICT skills can help in attracting a growing industry and increasing employment. In other words, the absence of ICT skills can be a barrier to development.

ICT, if carefully integrated in education, it has a potential to facilitate the acquisition of relevant life skills that buttress the development process in the prevailing economic and information order.
