Since 2015, Pangbourne College has partnered with the Nabugabo Community Primary School, an NGO situated in a poor and rural area in south-west Uganda. The school is supported by The HUGE Partnership, a small UK registered charity established in 2013 to provide financial and resource support to the primary school and the community. The partnership is not about one-off visits but about developing relationships and experiences for Nabugabo and Pangbourne pupils alike.
As well as working with the primary school, Pangbourne has been engaged with community initiatives, both through fundraising at school and actual hands-on building projects. Pangbourne has also supported the HUGE Further Education Fund, which enables children from Nabugabo to continue their studies at a preferred local secondary school. Without this support, many of the students, especially girls, would be forced to leave education because there are no government schools in the area.
With over 220 children at primary and secondary school, this partnership promotes the importance of education for all and celebrates our roots of service and making a difference in an imperfect world.
