The Kibaale Project

In 1993 in cooperation with the International Child Care Fund (ICCF) Pacific Academy established a model Christian school at the Kibaale Community Center in the Rakai District of Uganda. Over the years the Pacific Academy Outreach Society has taken over more and more responsibility for the project. Since 1998 PAOS has been responsible for all aspects of the work at the Kibaale project.

The Project Covers:

• Education - Nursery, primary, secondary and vocational schools
• Sponsorship - The Kibaale Children's Fund
• Development - Community projects, farm project
• Health - Medical clinic, immunization program
• Church and spiritual growth programs

Finances:
The Pacific Academy Outreach Society is committed to ensuring that the operation of Kibaale and all its outreach activies is conducted in an open and responsible fashion. All donations received for Kibaale are used 100% for Kibaale in Uganda.

Sources of Funding:
Administration costs are covered by Pacific Academy and a number of commercial ventures.

• Expatriate staff raise their own support
• Kibaale Children's Fund (KCF) handles the child sponsorship program. Currently over 600 students are sponsored through the program but 200 plus children are still waiting for sponsors
• Donors range from individuals who give small amounts for "where most needed" to individuals, groups, churches and organizations who donate large amounts for specific purposes.
• Annually the students, staff and parents of Pacific Academy organize a 5km fundraising walk, known as the "Kibaale Walk" which usually takes place in April. In 2007 the walk raised over $143,000 to support students who do not yet have sponsors.
