Introduction
Building Brighter Futures was formed and registered in 2004 as an independent charity with the following stated objectives:
"The charity's objectives are to provide sponsorship which will fund educational support for deaf, disabled, disadvantaged and deprived children in Uganda, in order that these children can integrate constructively, educationally and socially within their local communities.
Young people and others in the UK will be encouraged to participate in this sponsorship programme."
To develop the sponsorship programme and provide further educational support for our two target schools it was decided by the executive committee to organise and run a fund raising campaign coupled with a working visit to further develop the facilities at the schools.
Building Brighter Futures responding to requests from both schools set a target to provide a dormitory block for Kavule Parents School for the Deaf and to complete the classroom block which was started by Scouts in 2000 at the Peace School which has since been renamed Bukeka School & children's centre.
The 2006 project and visit was open to any interested party who was prepared to fund themselves and support the fund raising initiatives instigated by the trustees.
