About

Finding the money to pay tuition fees was a common worry for many Apas Secondary School students. It was not unusual for students to have to leave school for weeks at a time to work until they could scrape together enough money for tuition. Students in this difficult situation approached the Educate! Leadership and Entrepreneurship training with incredible enthusiasm and dedication. Students at the Apas Student Business Club initiated a business selling flowers and plants, by collecting used water bottles, planting flowers and herbs and selling them for cooking, medicinal, and aesthetic purposes. Additionally, students have sold homemade popcorn packaged in recycled paper bags branded with a logo they designed. Many of the students have started individual businesses as well, using profits from their businesses to pay for school fees and necessities, or to improve their businesses. They say they're less stressed now that they have the ability to generate income to pay their tuition and fees. {link ?c=info&t=community&m=esbs Learn more} about Educate!, Schools Building Schools and The School Fund's partnership to fund four Ugandan schools!
