Navigation

Hornby High School  in the Kabale District of Uganda, was founded in 1923 and the school’s Braille Class was opened in 1969 by the Royal Commonwealth Society for the Blind, with only four students at primary level. In 1992 it was promoted to secondary school level.

Academics

Currently the class hasmorethan 30 12 girls and 8 boys across all levels of secondary education, with the students attending from several districts of Uganda, and even neighbouring countries. Hornby High School’s Braille Class has been recognised as one of the most successful Braille Classes in Uganda, mostly due to its dedicated staff.

The school seeks to empower children by providing access to suitable educational materials and a teacher, Mr David Tindyebuia, who is specially trained, and with a wealth of experience, in teaching blind students.

They faces numerous challenges trying to cater for the needs of their students in the future, particularly as the class is constantly at capacity due to its high success and popularity.

 Afrinspire has been working alongside Hornby High School since 2010, providing braille supplies, white canes and school materials for the blind students. This support is vital to the lives of these vulnerable children as they had no alternative option to gain an education and establish their own long-term futures.

[related_posts]Without the school, they would be placed at serious risk of entrenched poverty, discrimination and mistreatment. The only hope is that they gain an education and financial independence.

Hornby achieves this by helping the children gain invaluable skills and self esteem, so they can take control of their own lives and futures.
