Our Mission
To offer advanced learning to the young people of Chelekura, Uganda . . . an area of abject poverty and need . . . by proving funding for John Paul Secondary School; to engage other interested persons by increasing awareness of the success of the school; to expand the John Paul campus to accommodate anticipated growth of student attendance by efficient planning for facilities, staffing, curriculum, health care and supplies; and to maintain an impressive record of dispensing 97% of funds donated to facilities, student and teacher programs.
Our Vision
Friends of John Paul School’s Board of Directors has a distinct vision for the school. Keywords are Premier and Sustainable. The academic standard is high; teachers are among the finest in the region and special emphasis is placed on Christian values, ethics, team building and integrity.
