Who We Are

St. Joseph Orphans Primary School was established by Catholic Sisters in 1995 to provide education, shelter, and comprehensive care to orphaned children in Uganda who would otherwise have no access to schooling or basic necessities.

Our Purpose

We believe every child deserves access to education and a loving environment, regardless of their circumstances. Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty by providing orphaned children with quality education, emotional support, and essential life skills.
