Impact report

Here's what your support has made possible.

This page is for you — for everyone who has ever sponsored a child, donated to a project, organised a fundraiser, or simply passed our name to someone who might care. What follows is an honest account of what that generosity has done, and what it is still doing.

The numbers

Key numbers, as they stand today.

These are the facts as of mid-2025. We keep them current because we think you deserve the real picture — not a polished summary written once and left to age.

Press a pebble!

Seven hundred children come through the gates of Rukungiri Modern Primary School every morning. That number has grown steadily since the school opened in 1997 with a handful of classrooms and a clear-eyed belief that every child in the community deserved somewhere to learn.

The projects

What your generosity has built, year by year.

Every entry started because someone chose to give — and because Alice and John and their team knew exactly where it was needed.

2025

Clean water, a refurbished staff room, and a school party

Clean water system installed — ending the daily task of boiling water for 700 children. Staff room refurbished and furnished. New mattresses for the baby class. Broken dormitory windows replaced. New curtains and clothes pegs for boarding children. Projector for the primary school. DVD players for both school and nursery. Ten brass instruments from London Borough of Barking and Dagenham prepared for shipping.

2024

Textbooks, benches, and more

150 English textbooks purchased for P4, P5 and P6 — no longer 1 shared between 10. New classroom benches delivered. Beds for sponsored children purchased (St Luke's Beccles, Harvest Appeal). School party funded by St John's Welling.

2023

Uniforms, and P7 results

Tailoring students from Gables Vocational School begin making uniforms for sponsored children. Excellent P7 PLE exam results — school continues to place among Uganda's top performers.

2022

Resilience in difficult circumstances

October visit despite Covid aftermath and Ebola concerns. New mattresses for the baby class. New nursery chairs. 1,500 doughnuts made with P6 students and shared across the primary school, vocational school and local deaf school. Solar pump in the borehole repaired — £4,000 sent for a new pump after the original failed.

Before 2022

Farming, playground, and headmaster house

Land and farming equipment was purchased for a sustainable food growth setup on the schools own land. The headmaster's house went from being a rented property to fully owned, and a playground was built for the kids to experience the joy of play.

The Stories

From the school, as it happens.

The best account of what ROP does is not a statistic. It's a visit. A conversation. A classroom. The updates below come from those who live in Rukungiri, have sat in those classrooms, eaten that food, and experienced the transformation.
