Cause of Our Joy Junior School - Kasenene was founded by Fr. Bernard Rabwoni Akiiki, a Catholic priest of Fort Portal Diocese, ordained on 30th June 2018. His own journey through hardship and determination inspired him to create opportunities for others.
"I was always very interested in going to school because I wanted to become a priest or a lawyer. But school was more than 10 kilometers away. I walked this distance barefoot, and we had no proper buildings—just trees for classrooms. Despite poverty and many challenges, I was able to study up to PhD level. That's why I founded this school." - Fr. Bernard Rabwoni AkiikiRead Our Full Story
Cause of Our Joy Junior School was established on March 26, 2021 with 74 pupils (P.1 to P.4) in temporary wooden classrooms, with a vision to provide accessible and quality education to children in Kasenene and surrounding villages.
Following the pandemic-related closures, the school reopened on january 10, 2022, with 191 pupils. The strong return showed deep community trust and growing belief in the school's mission.
Thanks to the generous support from Missio Austria, Bildungshilfe für Uganda Verein (Education Aid for Uganda Association) and Friends of Fr. Benard, the school began constructing permanent classroom buildings to replace the original temporary wooden structures.
Today, Cause of Our Joy Junior School serves about 300 pupils from nursery to primary level. With ongoing support, we continue to expand and improve our facilities, moving steadily towards a fully permanent and well-equipped learning environment.
"Cause of Our Joy Junior School seeks to create a safe, inclusive, learning and nurturing environment that enables pupils to flourish and achieve their full potential."
To become the leading center of holistic education and child care, preparing young boys and girls to become responsible, creative, productive, compassionate, and happy citizens.
