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 History |
|
|
|
|
 Since 2002, the congregation of Chardon United Methodist Church has embraced this project and has been generous and tireless in their support. In late 2002, construction commenced and in February 2003, Rock Foundation School opened it's doors to the Masindi community, offering high-quality, affordable, Christian education to the children of Masindi.
Small classes of sponsored children began attending nursery through Primary 4 (P4), with the next grade level added each year thereafter. The school buildings are basic but adaquate, with walls of burnt brick, iron-sheeted roofs, cement floors, sturdy iron doors and large windows. Each classroom has a large blackboard and the children use simple wooden desks and benches.

 We held a fundraiser on Sunday May 31st at 6pm with some great music, fellowship and of course food (fabulous desert bar). We had several performers (some regulars and some new talent) scheduled to perform. A love offering was collected and we also had a silent auction with many African art articles to buy to raise funds for the team leaving for Masindi on June 23rd.
