Furaha Junior School
OUR STRORY
Furaha Junior School was started by Furaha Foundation under the
leadership of Kalenzi Alex, who grew up facing many challenges accessing education. After experiencing the struggles of many children in his community, he was inspired to create a school where vulnerable children could receive education and hope for a better life. The school officially opened in January 2024 and has already impacted hundreds of children.
Education is the most powerful tool we can give a child to break the cycle of poverty.

“Meeting Community Needs
Through Accessible
Education”
Furaha foundation started Furaha Junior School
in response to the community’s urgent need for accessible, quality education. Many families in Iganga faced financial and logistical barriers to schooling, so the school was established to address these challenges, giving local children the opportunity to learn, grow, and build brighter futures.
