In February 2026 three girls stood against the Africa mural at the house with handwritten letters and their 2025 Uganda Certificate of Education results.
Najjemba Betty of Stella Maris College, Nsuube, passed in the first grade — Geography an A, the rest a ladder of Bs, project work a B. Her letter thanks the house for the fees that carried her through senior four, and she is already aiming higher at A-level.
Nassolo Latifah writes the same road in her own hand: she sat senior four in 2025, she checked her results, and she wants to take the support into advanced level. Nantongo Shanitah, also first grade, tells the person who paid she will not let them down.
Primary fees are how this house begins. Secondary results are how you see that the beginning held. These letters are not marketing. They are the children, reporting back.

Nantongo Shanitah, first grade
