About Rock Foundation School

Rock Foundation School (RFS), sponsored, in part, by Masindi Educational Ministries, seeks to be a leading "Model-of-Excellence" among educational institutions in Uganda. RFS will provide high-quality, affordable, comprehensive education at all levels, expanding from the current nursery and primary school, to secondary, trade & vocational training, and university-level educational opportunities.

The people of Masindi have become like family to many of us as we correspond and travel back and forth. This is a real community, with real needs, where you can write and VISIT (if you wish) the people you are assisting. Nearly 100% of the money that you provide for school fees or construction expenses goes directly to the school and is TAX-DEDUCTIBLE. Rock Foundation School is a work-in-progress. Classrooms are added as needed and improvements are made as financial support becomes available. As of Fall 2006, Rock Foundation has 9 classrooms and 11 teachers now educating 325+ students. Approximately one-half of these students are individually sponsored. Many of our children have lost one or both parents to disease or accidents, or come from very large families where money is tight even for the basics of food and shelter. Sponsorship not only provides students with the financial support necessary to continue their studies, but also gives them a partner in their dreams and ambitions for a better life. Our goal is to have a sponsor for each and every Rock Foundation student.
