Uganda - Primary School Brass Band

That’s why we need a brass band at our primary school in Uganda—so students can have fun and get the benefits of playing an instrument.  

All children deserve the chance to reach their full potential. You can give children new opportunities for learning and creativity, helping them rise up to transform their families, communities, and nation!

Why Is This Project Needed? 

• Playing a musical instrument improves memory and coordination, nurtures self-expression, and teaches responsibility. 
• Playing in a band will increase students’ social skills and teach them about teamwork. 
• Starting a band will save money and generate income for our ministry in Uganda. The band can play at events and save the cost of hiring a band. They can also have performances to generate income and help our ministry become financially sustainable.  

Strategy 

Last year, generous donors gave enough to buy some of the instruments for the band. With $8,336, staff will be able to purchase the rest of the instruments needed and provide training for the students.    

Outcomes 

1. Within a year, 50 students will learn how to play a musical instrument.  

1. A brass band will enhance the students’ education and unleash their creativity.  

1. The band will generate income for Children of the Nations–Uganda and help the ministry become financially sustainable.  

1. Students will gain valuable skills they can use in their future careers.  

Opportunity 

The total cost of this project is $8,336. Many children living in poverty will never even learn how to read. But you can give children the chance to play a musical instrument and be part of a band—you can give them the opportunity to reach their full potential. 

*Special note: A generous donor has pledged to give the final $2,756 for this project. Which means we only need $5,580 to complete this project!
