Roofings Group has invested approximately UGX 3.5 billion in the redevelopment of Kasubi Family Primary School in Kampala as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at improving access to quality education.
The company’s team visited the school today to assess the progress of the construction works, which are being undertaken under its Forever Education programme.
Speaking during the visit, Roofings Group Brand Manager Edwin Abasa said the project is intended to transform the school, which had previously suffered from dilapidated infrastructure and attempts to grab its land.
Abasa said the redevelopment is being fully funded by the company as part of its commitment to giving back to the community, adding that the project is expected to be completed in phases.
He revealed that Phase One, which comprises the primary school section with 14 classrooms, is approximately 80% complete, while overall project completion stands at about 50%.
Abasa said the company hopes to complete the first phase soon, allowing pupils to move into the new classrooms as construction of the remaining facilities continues.
The project lead, Lucky Ninsiima, said the second phase, scheduled to begin in November 2026, will include a kindergarten section, a multipurpose hall, staff quarters, a sick bay, a bakery, a canteen and landscaping.
Ninsiima said Roofings Group’s ambition goes beyond constructing modern buildings, noting that the company also intends to support improvements in the quality of education and teaching at the school.
She added that pupils are currently studying in temporary structures as construction progresses, and the old buildings are expected to be demolished to pave the way for the second phase once the new primary section is ready.
Abasa explained that the school was selected after the company’s leadership assessed its condition and the needs of the surrounding community.
He said the land-related challenges have since been addressed in partnership with Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), which manages the school.
Roofings Group says the project forms part of its wider Forever Education initiative, one of three corporate social responsibility pillars alongside Forever Forestry and Forever Health.
The company also supports St Peter’s School in Namanve, where it previously invested in development and provides about 30 scholarships every term to high-performing learners and those from families unable to afford school fees.
The redevelopment of Kasubi Family Primary School is expected to provide a better learning environment for pupils and strengthen access to education for generations in the surrounding community.
