education equals choices

You can provide life-changing education for children in rural Uganda

We believe education has the power to transform entire communities. You can support the education of a student in-need today and create a legacy of impact for tomorrow.

we educate the whole student by building partnerships one household at a time

At Raise the Roof Academy, we’re committed to holistic development in rural Uganda. We focus on education, health (on campus and in the community), income generation, and collaboration with local leaders. Our goal is lasting, region-wide progress, not just temporary assistance.

build the high school campaign

RTRA high school students account for 13% of the total current student body population and expected to increase to 30% this year in 2024.  Because of the rapid growth, the RTRA High School has been temporarily housed in the pavilion on the main campus of the primary school. It’s necessary to expand our campus to accommodate the growth and success of our students.
