Our dream for the community

Horeb Primary School project is the biggest Ride 4 A Woman’s dream. It is about building a primary school in Bwindi, Uganda, to make it possible for all children in the community to go to school, no matter its economic situation or how far away they live from school. Because there is no better investment than education to empower women and girls, and to make a difference in everyone’s life.

Ride 4 A Woman program on Child Sponsorship is currently covering the education of over 250 children in different primary and secondary schools of Bwindi. However, there are still many more children not going to school due to lack of economic resources in their homes. Having all these sponsored children in a school directly managed by Ride 4 A Woman would be ideal, because it would require less economic resources per kid, allowing us to reach many more children and families. Our goal is to have over 500 students in Horeb Primary School.

But it is not only about money and resources. We firmly believe that a new type of school is possible. Besides the standard educational curriculum, which is undoubtedly important, there is the need to engage the students differently, so education goes one step forward.

For us, one step forward education means:

• No kid without school.

• Practical education through project management skills.

• Environment and wildlife conservation and sustainability.

• Digitalization.

• Make education possible to children with mental and physical disabilities.

• Educate through love and fun, making school a space of joy.

Ride 4 a Woman already possesses the land in which it is expected to construct the school. It is a 9900 m2 land located in Buhoma, Bwindi.

The drawings and designs of the buildings are also ready. They were made by Bena Holdings architecture design firm. Please, see the following pages for more information.

The next step is to get the needed investment to start the construction.
