Kampala, Uganda – ATC Uganda has inaugurated a new classroom block at Kibuye Primary School in Kampala, as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts to improve learning conditions for Ugandan children.
The new classroom block, the third of its kind constructed by ATC Uganda, will benefit over 1,000 students and 25 teachers at the school.

Jimmy Amatre, Deputy Director of Social Services at Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), praised ATC Uganda’s contribution to the school. “This initiative not only aligns with government policies on universal primary education but also provides disadvantaged children with access to opportunities they might otherwise not have. Schools like Kibuye nurture talented students who can grow into future leaders.”
