School for Life: The Australian woman changing lives in Uganda, one student at a time
$36.99
'School for Life is a story that will move you, challenge you, and remind you that one person with purpose can change thousands of lives.' The Hon Julie Bishop
In 2008, Annabelle Chauncy, a 21-year-old Australian university student, visited a school in Uganda, a country that had the highest school dropout rates in the world. Shocked by what she saw, she decided to act.
Eighteen years later, her foundation, School for Life, oversees three schools with a combined student capacity of 1700, employs 150 Ugandans, and has profoundly changed the lives of thousands of students, their parents, and the communities in which they live.
Most of these children are the first in their families to finish high school. Many go on to attend university. All will use their education, in big and small ways, to help break the cycle of poverty.
Told with raw honesty and unwavering compassion, this story is a powerful reminder of how the world can change when a determined person with a vision decides it should.
