Banunule is a safe haven for 180 children orphaned through AIDS or war. It is a place where each child is valued and cared for and self-esteem is nurtured. As well as providing a holistic approach to developing the child, the school provides a good quality education, food, clothing and medical care. Small class sizes ensure that every child is given individual attention. Banunule is a model school and the focus of the community and many events take place at the school to which neighbours are invited. It is also where training and courses take place for visiting teachers. The Mission Statement of the BSSG is: To advance the education and well-being of the pupils at Banunule Primary School for Orphans and underprivileged Children in Kisugu, Kampala, Uganda. In recent years thanks to the work done by the BSSG, a nurse has been employed and a clinic created, the library has grown, a new playground has been built, and the classrooms, dining hall and kitchen have been refurbished. Projects this year alone have included the construction of a security wall to keep the school safe and to keep the squatters on the adjacent land from encroaching on the school property, and funding towards a new water purification project to give the children safe water for drinking and cooking. Banunule children are encouraged to choose appropriate vocational career paths. One former pupil is currently training to be a doctor, another is about to commence nursing training and others have qualified as water engineers, plumbers, carpenters, cooks, printers, IT technicians and tailors.
