WHO?

ABOUT THE KIBBUSE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL (KVS)

The KVS located in Nyamarwa in central Uganda was founded in 2000 by nine villagers with a vision for their children to become job creators rather than job seekers. Rev. James Joloba Adyeri, the project’s head, is testament to the possibility of what can happen when Africans learn to take control of their own lives. The Rev., who grew up in Nyamarwa, in the kingdom of Bunyoro-Kitara, with much perseverance obtained a scholarship to attend Redcliffe College in Great Britain. Having learned the concept of individual responsibility, he returned to his native village to share his knowledge with his people by opening the vocational school. The school is enclosed in a compound containing three classrooms, a small dormitory and staff quarters. KVS has created a carpentry shop, a metalworking shop, and another partially completed classroom block

                       Children of Nyamrwa

. . .is a beacon of hope in an isolated village of mud huts. The road that runs through the community is unpaved and heavily rutted. No electrical power lines reach this far; no running water; no sanitation. The Land Cruisers of the tourists and charities speed through Nyamarwa without stopping unaware that behind he school walls at the village crossroads, young men and women are receiving a high level technical education. The students are learning classic carpentry techniques, bricklaying, metal working, and auto repair. Girls with treadle sewing machines are learning tailoring, dressmaking, and home economics. All the students are learning English along with hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention.
