why build the high school?

In 2024, the RTRA high school students account for 30% of the total current student body population. Because of the rapid growth, the RTRA High School has been temporarily housed in the pavilion on the main campus of the primary school. It’s necessary to expand our campus to accommodate the growth and success of our students.

In addition to classes, each student is provided with opportunities to develop their skills and grow as leaders through Community Service, Micro-Enterprise Projects, Leadership Training, and an Annual Conference. Moreover, teachers lead goal-setting activities, career guidance, and sessions on children’s rights. This comprehensive model of secondary education encourages students to be proactive members of their communities, leading local growth and community development.

The high school is temporarily housed in the pavilion on the primary school campus and has 9 classrooms, including a library, computer room, and laboratory. The high school students live on-campus in dormitories where they are cared for my house mothers and fathers and receive three meals each day.

We are building the new Raise the Roof High School!

Here is the progress we’re making together:

  • Acquire the land for the new campus -complete

  • Launch the Build the High School Campaign at the Vision Dinner -complete

  • Select contractor and begin site preparations -complete

  • Architects and contractors finalize plans and permits -complete

  • First block of classrooms for the High School on the Bwasandeku Campus -in progress

This is an estimate of gifts needed at different monthly or annual levels.

We want to stick to a strict, year-round construction schedule and keep the building costs down. For this reason, we need to have $100,000 available each month for construction costs. 

We invite you, and your friends and family, to make a pledge towards the goal of raising $100,000/month so we can complete the RTRA High School!

Building the high school together, will give every child, and their sponsor, the guarantee that the investment into their education does not stop at the primary level, but goes all the way through high school and beyond!

sponsorship options:

As a sponsor, you can choose to be a circle sponsor at $35 per month and share the payment with other sponsors, co-sponsor at $70 per month with one other sponsor, or become a sole sponsor at $140 per month. 

The total cost for a high school student is $140 per month.
