Forest High School Kikandwa
When the New Forests Company conducted its first participatory rural appraisal around Namwasa Plantation in Uganda, one of the most urgent needs that came up was improving the access to secondary school, especially for girls. Many girls would finish primary school and despite good marks, if their family could not afford to send them to boarding school, they would often be married off or take up work in the s*x trade to earn income for their families. NFC decided to figure out how to bring a secondary school to this area and managed to do so in partnership with a registered British Charity, Promoting Equality in African Schools (PEAS) who specialize in setting up and managing affordable, quality secondary schools in Uganda. PEAS and NFC split the capital costs for building the school and all the running costs are sustainably funded by low fees from the pupils.

Forest High School Kikandwa was officially opened in January 2008 by guest of honour, British artist, Ms. Tracey Emin who generously funded the construction of the Tracey Emin Library at the high school which now has 14 computers in it as well as numerous books and a wonderful creative reading room. The school has over 230 pupils and continues to grow.

NFC saw this project as a particularly strong success and a great way to incentivise children to stay in the primary schools which NFC supports. We are currently looking for another co-funding partner to build another high school where it is desperately needed next to our plantation in Eastern Uganda.
