Founder’s Welcome

Every Child Deserves a Chance

Welcome to Sonshine Primary School. We’re so glad you’re here. Sonshine exists to give every child an excellent education rooted in faith, bringing hope and opportunity to our whole community.

Education is truly transformational. It lifts families out of poverty, opens doors to opportunity, and raises up the next generation of wise, compassionate leaders. At Sonshine, that transformation extends beyond our classrooms — into the families, homes, and livelihoods of our whole community. Whether you’re a parent, a supporter, or someone who simply believes every child deserves a chance — we’re glad you found us. This is your family too. — Dan & Susan Kabugo, Founders

Our journey began with a simple belief: that every child in Nakaseke District deserves a quality Christian education, regardless of their family’s circumstances. Today, more than 649 students learn across our two campuses, supported by a dedicated team who pour their hearts into this work every day.
