Heart 2 HeartNursery school

Empowering young minds, building strong communities

Found in the hills of Rushaga Village, at the edge of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, HEART 2 HEART Nursery School is more than just a school — it is a place of hope.50 children from the Batwa community, vulnerable families, and local villagers gather every day to learn, play, and share meals. In a region where many children struggle to access education, this small school is a lifeline.

    Why the School Matters

  • Education for all:Children from different backgrounds sit side by side, learning their ABCs, numbers, songs, and stories. For Batwa children, who have faced generations of exclusion, this is a first step toward a brighter future.
  • A safe place:The school provides a nurturing environment where children feel cared for, away from the daily struggles of poverty.
  • Connecting to nature:With Bwindi Forest as their backyard, children are encouraged to join the Birders Club, learning about the unique birds and wildlife that make Uganda world-famous. Through this, they grow up valuing both their heritage and their environment.
