By Lutaya Shafiq Holmes
A fundraising dinner for Kibuli Senior Secondary School has raised sh700m, out of the sh3b required for renovation and constructing new buildings.
The dinner, organised by the school’s old boys and girls, took place on Thursday at Serena Hotel in Kampala.
Among the works to be done at the school is completion of the girls’ hostel, library and computer laboratory.
Buganda Queen Nabagereka Sylvia Nagginda thanked Prince Badru Kakungulu for donating the 80 acres of land on which the school was built.
“We hope to see more girls getting enrolled, new buildings and a much cleaner school to help the dreams of these students become reality,” Nagginda said at the dinner to mark the school’s 68 years of existence.
The headmaster, Ibrahim Matovu, said the school has a boys to girls ratio of 2:1.
Naginda encouraged parents to inculcate cultural values in their children, through the Nabagereka Foundation’s Kisaakate. The programme teaches children of 6-18 years cultural values and tips on how to pass through adolescence.
Kasim Nakibinge, Kakungulu’s heir, urged old students and well-wishers to contribute generously towards the school’s cause.
