Our Plans For Growth

We plan strong and steady growth for i.HUG and the Kabalagala Community Academy. In 2007, the school opened with Primary 1 and Primary 2 classes. In 2008, we added a Primary 3 class. Going forward, i.HUG plans to continue to expand by one grade every year. We will soon need to move out of our current premises and into a larger property. Already, the Kabalagala Community Academy—essentially, a residence that we converted into a school—has become very crowded, and some classes must be taught outside (which can be difficult when it rains). What’s more, the very act of renting in Uganda is risky: There is always the danger of being thrown out by the landlord, even with a renter’s agreement.

For the long-term sustainability and safety of the project, the Kabalagala Community Academy needs a permanent home. This includes buying land and building a school. Once i.HUG has a permanent home in Uganda, we can begin working to ensure that the community can take over the operational costs of running KCA.
