Ten dollars a month is all it takes to send a child in Buyaga, eastern Uganda, to school. A modest partnership between Resurrection Parish in King’s Park and Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Parish in Buyaga is making this happen for 285 children.

Under the umbrella of humanitarian organisation Melbourne Overseas Mission (MOM), this collaboration provides education, shelter and food at a secondary school named Resurrection, in honour of the parishioners who fund the partnership. There, the students dream of becoming doctors, engineers and hairdressers—a world away from the small-hold farms where they grow coffee, banana, cassava and beans.
