Nursery and Junior School
From Humble Beginnings
Divine Day Care Nursery and Junior School was born out of a strong passion for children by it's founder Deborah Gita, a retired nurse and a graduate of Aga khan university (Post RN BscN). The school started with only two children in 2013, Christopher and Jedidiah and by December 2015 it had 31 children. At the start of 2017 it had 70 pupils and it's ongoing target is to simply increase in numbers and services offered to children from the most unfortunate of backgrounds and circumstances.
Equality For All
The school caters for all categories of children: from the fairly advantaged to the disadvantaged, physically handicapped and stigmatized, HIV positive orphans and many others with special needs such as Hydrocephalus (abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain), Albinism, and for those where rejection from other schools is sadly common place. In Uganda there is a high level of unacceptance from schools through ignorance and stigma attached to many children's conditions and special needs.
Nursery Facilities
Divine also takes care of babies while their parents go to work. They are dropped off in the morning and picked up in the evenings. Some children have graduated from daycare to the nursery section. The school has two rooms with cots and beds, and trained staff to look after and care for these babies throughout the whole day. Nurturing, cleaning, feeding, entertaining, interacting, health checks and monitoring is just a normal part of every day life and care offered by the dedicated Divine Day Care staff members.

The School - The Future
Fund raising is a key part of maintaining the success and secure future of Divine. Desperate efforts are being made to raise money with a view to purchasing the land and the property for sustainability and development.
Naturally running such a facility can be costly, from the most basic school items through to medical welfare, though the life changing results far outweigh the struggles and sacrifices made by all involved in the school project.
As well as the exceptional work at the Divine Day Care, over time it has also helped to create jobs for teaching staff and assistants with the aim towards continuing growth so that even more services can be added, helping to change many lives.
Divine has started a small beautiful poultry farm to help supply eggs to cater for the nutritional requirements of the children and have also planted some basic food crops and vegetables in their small farm area which they want to develop further.Meet The Children

Transportation
Funds are urgently required for a school mini bus. Without transportation many children suffer greatly and miss out on the opportunities of education, special need requirements, medical welfare, social interaction, child development and so much more. The Divine Day Care can only do so much and without urgent assistance this could have a huge impact on many children's lives, so please join in with our fund raising. Thank you.
Believe it or not this is the only school transportation, an estate car.
15 Children cram into every available space for this essential service.
Third party seating in the boot. Children may love it but it's not ideal.
