The Rotary Club of Kampala Central sought to conduct a needs assessment in 15 schools in Lukwanga Parish, Wakiso District and the following was established;

• Every three (3) students in Lukwanga Parish shared one desk.
• 95% of the students did not have text books and scholastic materials.
• Education for the girls was uncertain with early pregnancies and missing out of school during their menstrual periods.
• There was lack of any form of recreational activities in Lukwanga schools.
• These poor communities are not privileged to source and afford qualified teachers.
• In comparison with other schools in Kampala District with improved quality with over (70%) passes, on average only 6% of students would pass with a first grade in the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE).
• High level of school dropouts: 7 out of 10 students did not proceed to secondary school or do not complete secondary school.
• Children who could continue to secondary education had to walk 8km or more making 16 km per day.
• Girls children walking long distances for education risked rape and abduction among others.
• Commitment to education was lacking. Of the 1,303 children below 18 years of age in four villages, 25% did not attend school. However, the most affected was Luggi village where 65% of the children do not attend school, Luggi community had the lowest average monthly income estimated at Ug shs 10,000.
• Some did not attend school due to the parent’s attitude towards education and the orphans living with the elderly were most affected.
• The aggravated effect rendered over 70% of the youth redundant with limited skills to advance their careers.
