Hayes Knight were compelled to become the School for Life Foundation’s platinum sponsor at the 2025 Gala Ball. Not just to have our name up on the screen in front of a large audience, which is nice, but for the difference that this not-for-profit makes. If you want to witness positive change in action, they deliver in abundance.
School for Life’s vision is to build the community that educates poverty out of existence. A bold ambition but one - through their school, their system and method of education, their interaction with the community – that is delivering happy and prosperous lives, and communities with hope. They see that education is the way to mobilise a community and create a positive and sustainable future.
Many children in Uganda, particularly girls, face unimaginable barriers to education and opportunity.
2025 is an auspicious year for the school with their first cohort completing high school and for some, embracing higher education – including Cissy, who was the first student in her family. An incredible achievement and confirmation of a model for change.
Schools create prosperity, and prosperity ends poverty. Their graduates, prosperity makers, are changing lives - starting with their own communities. Starting 16 years ago with $500,000 raised in partnership with Rotary, the Foundation now has two primary schools and one high school, and an impact on over 4,500 children.
Hayes Knight has been involved with School for Life for around six years. Having a strong commitment to education and professional training, we understand and are committed to the change that education and professional development can make.
If you have been blessed with opportunity, active philanthropy is just one way to answer that question of ‘what can I do’ in the face of so much need.
If you are interested in structuring your business, your income, or your personal wealth in a way that delivers on tangible social goals, we can help. We do it personally and professionally; let us show you how.
