Improved access to education for the people of Shimbwe
First secondary school in the area
Founded in 1998, the Shimbwe Secondary School improved access to education for the people of its ward in a significant way. Until then, there had been no secondary school in the area and, consequently, residents had limited options to decide their educational future.
Shimbwe Development Trust: Changing lives for the better
However, with the help of the Shimbwe Development Trust – who raised substantial funds and supervised construction – this all changed. Over 20 years later, Shimbwe Secondary School continues to boast improved access to education due to ongoing developments driven by the Trust.
