Nabukenya Primary School

Bishop Dunstan Bukenya and Ann Potts (Nabukenya)

In 2005 at the request of the former Bishop of Mityana, Dunstan Bukenya, Mityana Charity became involved in building a school at Lwankuba. The driving force in this project was Ann Potts, and the school was named after her Ugandan name, and became Nabukenya Primary School.

Ann secured the support of Mark Boobbyer and Linda Raabe-Marjot, then Housemaster and Housemistress of Blucher and Orange Houses at Wellington College. With the support of the parents and students of Blucher and Orange Houses, and donations from many other generous well wishers, Nabukenya Primary School is now well established.

Although the classes started under a mango tree and in a small church building, the school has grown rapidly and now consists of three classroom blocks, a multipurpose hall, three nursery classrooms, boys and girls dormitories, four sets of latrines and chapel, a kitchen with eco stoves, a store cupboard and two blocks of teachers' accommodation.

Water is collected via guttering and tanks and can also be pumped from a bore hole; the administration block and some classrooms benefit from solar power. The school now has 300 pupils and 9 teachers and is making good progress academically.
In 2017 the school was handed to the Mityana Diocese to run as it is now a fully functioning school on church land.

To help gain income Mityana Charity provided the dormitories and a pig project with a Pork Joint selling the cooked meat to the public.
