YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Charlene Barr passed away in October 2010 having raised the funds to build a primary school in Uganda. She had much in her diaries about the other plans she had to create better futures for disadvantaged children. 10 years after Charlene passed away, Charlene's Project still continues in her memory and our 2020 VISION will celebrate her hopes and dreams by developing a local secondary school for the children of the 8 primary schools we are currently supporting in western Uganda.

We would like to invite and challenge you to be a part of helping make this 2020 Vision a reality. Whether that be through a one-off donation, through taking out a direct debit and giving regularly, or through organising a fundraiser for us, we implore you to be a part of changing the lives of thousands of children in Western Uganda. We are setting a challenge for our friends in 2020 to do something to raise money for the 2020 vision, be that running a sponsored 10K or marathon, holding a coffee morning, doing a sponsored abseil, or even hosting a clothes swap, the options are endless - could you help by doing something similar in your area?

Charlene's Project started working with Kahara Primary School in 2012. When we first met the school management they showed us the mud classroom with a straw roof that parents had built for the school.

Since 2012 Charlene's Project have supported Kahara by funding the building of a classroom block, community hall, teachers accommodation, latrines, kitchen and nursery block. We have provided a borehole, playing field and support for a school garden and educational resources.

Charlene's Project has supported classroom renovations, and teacher accommodation in neighbouring Kirwala Primary School. The project has now extended to support 8 neighbouring primary schools in this very remote area in western Uganda where children often do not have educational opportunities and where many children do not even complete primary education.
