OUR SCHOOL
Rooted in Nsangi.
Built around every child.
Founded by teachers Lutaaya Anthony and Kibuuka Vicent, Mandela exists to make quality education more accessible and expand opportunities for vulnerable children.
We are a mixed day and boarding private school on school-owned land near Nsangi Sub County Headquarters, in Wakiso District, Uganda. Our practical, child-centred approach encourages pupils to ask questions, think independently and solve real-life challenges.
01 / OUR MISSION
To produce a self-reliant and sustainable citizen.
02 / OUR VISION
Education for an independent and creative mind.
We aim to nurture talent, strengthen reading and writing, develop leadership, and support children from different religious backgrounds.

The first two school blocks were constructed.

Licensed by the Ministry of Education and Sports; opened with Nursery to P4.

ACADEMICS & STUDENT LIFE
Room to think.
Space to discover.
From early learning to Primary Seven, education at Mandela brings together literacy, practical skills, creativity, teamwork and talent development.
Primary education
Nursery through P7 is supported by a reported team of 26 qualified, multi-disciplinary teachers, with an emphasis on reading, handwriting, creative writing and independent thinking.
Life beyond the classroom
Football, volleyball, netball, athletics, dance and creative activities encourage confidence and teamwork. Top Class to P7 swimming uses an external facility; the school has no pool of its own.
FACILITIES & DEVELOPMENT
A place to learn, with room to grow.
The proposal reports three classroom blocks on school-owned land and identifies further development space. It describes a library needing more books, kitchen and sanitation facilities, an art room, a multipurpose hall and a day-care centre within its current and proposed facilities.
Priorities include wider and improved classrooms, staff housing and dormitories. Contact the school to confirm the present availability of a particular facility or service.

SPONSORSHIP & SUPPORT
A child's circumstances
shouldn't close the door
to education.
When bereavement, disability, illness or loss of income makes school costs difficult, a bursary can help a child continue learning. Mandela supports vulnerable pupils, but the school's own resources are limited.
WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Support a child.
Strengthen a school.
Individuals, companies, foundations and community partners can support a learner, a group of learners or an agreed school project.
Learner bursaries
Help vulnerable, orphaned and disadvantaged pupils meet school costs. Discuss annual, termly or quarterly support with the school.
Teaching & learning
Support teaching capacity, books, desks, chairs, scholastic materials and practical learning resources.
Spaces to learn & stay
Contribute building materials or funding toward classrooms, staff accommodation and boarding dormitories.
Sport & talent
Help children explore their abilities with sports equipment, music resources and art materials.
Welfare & daily needs
Support sanitary supplies, clothing, sick-bay materials, utilities and boarding needs. For food, the proposal requests monetary support rather than food deliveries.
School transport
Contribute toward the proposed school van to help pupils who travel long distances to and from school.
