Few years ago, Patrick Mukisa, Director of Destiny Schools shared with friends from South Sudan, DRC and Eritrea about the struggles he faced in acquiring education. When his friends also narrated their stories, Patrick felt his was not worth mentioning as did his friends’. Each one of you has his own story quite different from another, and so on. From all those hurdles you have gone through, you can stand together with another to reach out young people.

Many fears do female learners go through while attending school. One of Patrick’s friends was neglected by her family. Everyone was threatened if wanted to give her support. In most rural settings, unless of current and in few areas, educating girl child was secondary. Together we can help both female and male learners. Stories may be different but all point you to see where you have been and how can you help someone else out of a similar situation.

Patrick resolved to serve with many schools both primary and secondary from 2008-2015. His passion is to see children acquire an all-round education yet practically relevant in the current economy. He has helped to provide a safe and secure place for girl children to receive an education. He desires to see the would-be community nuisance turn into vibrant think tanks and path finders. He says this can only be possible if he stands out to start an educational facility that suits his vision.

The Destiny Schools therefore provide a conducive environment for both female and male learner. They enrol learners from various backgrounds with a target that these learners will become viable in developing their communities for the better. They also include adult learners, school drop outs and young people in their programs to ensure that their potential is harnessed hence a productive generation now and after.

Patrick and his wife Rachael, along with 3 friends, founded the Nursery and Primary School Project to provide practical education and skills to young children. The school relies their small pockets and sometimes on the generosity of some parents for it to continue and thrive. With such meagre help progress is slow, so they need your hand.

Patrick’s hope is to build a well facilitated educational entity including all categories of individuals from years 4 to 45 years old. They hope to set up a resource centre that seat 1000 young people. They wish to set hostels for neglected and orphaned children for better accommodation for learners in areas affected by poverty and illness. They are proud of what they’re doing to support the commencement, and look forward to helping other remote areas in need around the world. Their next target is to serve countries like South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Eritrea.
