Mr. Lugwana confirmed that the most recent funds received had been disbursed towards Term I tuition fees for the children on sponsorship, including the five secondary school entrants.
Exam Results
One of our students on sponsorship who sat A’levels last November obtained 18 points and is hoping to enter university in August. This is a very creditable performance and meets entry requirements for most universities.
Five students sat the Uganda Primary Examinations (UPE). One of our sponsorship recipients was the top student at his school and was admitted at St. Henry’s College Kitovu – one of the best schools in the country. Another male student was admitted to Kiteredde Secondary School, near Kyotera.The remaining three students, all girls, have been admitted at Christ The King Secondary School, which is a good girl’s school in the Rakai District.Mr. Lugwana explained that the schools mentioned above all have a high standard of academic performance. This will help greatly in ensuring that the sponsors’ money is most effectively utilized.

About Me
- Proteqt Children's Foundation
- Proteqt Children’s Foundation's (PCF) mission is to provide educational sponsorships for vulnerable children - especially those orphaned by AIDS - in the Rakai District of south-western Uganda, a district particularly ravaged by the HIV and AIDS epidemic. PCF was conceived in 2004 when, in response to a plea for help, the Evelyn family of Barbados decided to finance the education of a Ugandan teenager. This student went on to complete his A’Levels and in April 2007 Dr. Veronica Evelyn visited him in Uganda. Proteqt Children’s Foundation was born as a result of the findings of that trip. With the help of people who care, PCF strives to empower these children to build better lives for themselves and their country. PCF became a registered charity in August 2008 and is currently run by a nine-member board of trustees.
