School for Life Foundation At School for Life, we believe education creates prosperity - and prosperity ends poverty. This is about more than classrooms. We create change.

Our community began with one school in a small Ugandan village, driven by a simple yet powerful belief: every child deserves the chance to dream, grow, and thrive. Today, that belief has grown into a global movement that is educating poverty out of existence, building clean, safe schools where education doesn’t just teach - it transforms. Guided by an ethos of relationships, rigour, and real-world impact, we work shoulder to shoulder with local leaders, educators, and philanthropists. Together, we’re creating opportunities for children - especially girls, who face the steepest barriers - to rewrite their futures, rise above their circumstances, and lead their communities forward. It’s about building futures - futures that ripple through families, communities, and generations. At School for Life, we don’t just educate children. We prove that where you start doesn’t have to define where you go.

Join us for an evening of inspiration as we celebrate School for Life, the book, in Paddington.

Annabelle Chauncy OAM will be in conversation with Holly Wainwright sharing the story behind the book and the journey that shaped it: from one Australian woman's vision to changing lives in Uganda, one student at a time.

Hosted by our friends at Gertrude and Alice Bookstore, it's a chance to hear first-hand how a bold idea grew into schools that are transforming communities, and to connect with others who believe in the power of education.

Wednesday, 28 October 2026, 7pm
Paddington Uniting Church, Paddington

We'd love to see you there. Find out more and book your spot:

A brilliant result for Katuuso Primary School! 🙌

Our students recently took part in the Enjuba Spelling Bee Competition, putting their confidence, preparation and spelling skills to the test. 🥰

We’re incredibly proud of Primary Three students Nakato Anilla, who was crowned champion, and Kaweesa Morgan, who was named 1st runner-up in the junior category. 🏆

And there’s more to celebrate! Eight of our 30 participating students have qualified for the national competition in Kampala. 👏

A huge congratulations to all our students who took part, and to the teachers who worked hard to prepare and encourage them along the way. 💙

We can’t wait to cheer on our eight national qualifiers as they take on the next stage!

Missed Annabelle on Today Extra yesterday? 📺

Annabelle joined David Campbell and Belinda Russell to talk about School for Life the book and why now felt like the right time to share the story.

With some of our students now graduating after almost two decades with School for Life, Annabelle reflected on where it all began, the challenges along the way and the incredible impact education can have, not just on one child, but on their family and community. 🥰

Students at Mbazzi Primary School recently took part in their school leadership elections. 🥰

The process gave children the chance to nominate candidates, listen to their peers and vote for the students they wanted to represent them.

For many, it was their first experience of taking part in an election. It gave them the chance to speak up, listen to others and take responsibility for their school community. 🙌

In a safe and supportive school environment, children can begin to see that their ideas matter. Experiences like this build confidence, strengthen their sense of belonging and help them take an active role in the community around them. 💙
