Providing quality, value-based education from early childhood to youth development.

Fr. Bodewig Institutions in Masese, Walukuba stand as a beacon of hope and transformation for children and youth from the surrounding slum communities, including Masese, Karamajong, Soweto, Danida, and neighbouring areas.

These institutions are a joint mission of the Missionary Sisters of the Queen of the Apostles (SRA) in collaboration with Fundación Mis Aldeas, Madrid, through the generous support of Mr. Alfonso Mialdea.

Guided by our commitment to the holistic development of every child, we strive to provide quality education, nurturing their moral, spiritual, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. Small class sizes, only 25 learners per class, help us ensure that each child receives personalized attention, care, and encouragement. Our dedicated teaching and non-teaching staff work tirelessly to create a safe, supportive, and inspiring learning environment.

We also provide nutritious daily meals, ensuring that children can learn and grow in dignity.
