Mbarara, Uganda St. Patrick Boarding Primary School will be located 6 miles outside of Mbarara, Uganda, the second largest city in Uganda. The 5 acres of land was purchased by Fr. Julius Turyatoranwa, who was raised in a village called Noozi in Rukiga district, located southwest of Mbarara. Many children of Uganda come from generations of poverty. Families are often too poor to send their children to school for more than a few years. Many times, only one child completes his or her education while the others quit school and work. Fr. Julius’s two older brothers as well as twin brother sacrificed their educations so he could attend school and eventually enter the seminary. Most children also suffer from: • poor nutrition, often only getting one full meal a day • lack of access to clean water • poor housing without electricity, many with only a dirt floor Attending a boarding school is often reserved for only the wealthiest of families. St. Patrick Boarding Primary School will give generations of children opportunities of which they could only once dream.
