The Principal for Global Junior Schools, Anthony Kato Sentongo said preparations for the school’s 20th birthday festivities began a month ago, with the sole aim of giving accountability to communities for what has been transpiring behind the gates of the schools for the last 20 years.
In the countdown to their 20th anniversary falling on 8th November 2025, and as a corporate social responsibility gesture, management of Global Junior Schools two campuses of Mukono and Kyaliwajjala have donated mobility aids, household items, foodstuffs including maize flour, rice, sugar, wheel chairs, mattresses, soap, shoes, clothing and blankets to schools, churches, people with disabilities and the elderly.
The function which was held at Ntaawo MUZARDI playground on Saturday in Mukono Municipality was sandwiched with a marathon that attracted parents, teachers, religious and civic leaders, and the chief runner in the marathon held under the theme ‘Race To Impact Communities’, was the Police Force Human Resource and Training Director, AIGP Moses Kafeero who hailed Global Junior Schools management for holding in high esteem values including service for God.
Kafeero noted that Global Junior Schools have exemplified themselves as star performers in PLE countrywide, and was impressed by the degree of integrity among the school community, which he said is a key requirement for job seekers in modern times.
AIGP Kafeero thanked Global Junior Schools management for doing what would be considered unthinkable in the modern world of stiff competition, when they extended assistance to schools within their catchment area, in addition to helping train teachers from disadvantaged schools in executing the competence-based curriculum mode of teaching.
The Chaplain for Kyaliwajjala campus of Global Junior School, Rev. Festo Kalungi noted that it is rare for thriving institutions to consider giving back to needy people in their communities, noting that although they cannot give to the whole world, they can at least change the world around those who benefitted from the donation.
Kalungi appealed to those who feel they do not need the items donated to them, to kindly and out of humaneness, leave them behind for other needy people who he said abound in communities out there.
At least 200 people benefitted from the donations, they include; children with disabilities, and old people.

Ssentongo thanked local communities, Local Council and religious leaders who he said have been very handy in identifying vulnerable members of the community in need of donated items. He singled out Good Samaritan Disabled Children’s Home, Kasangalabi Catholic Parish, Nsambwe COU, and Ttakajjunge COU.
He disclosed that a campaign which began with their learners and parents who donated used clothing is to continue, and added that more communities will be reached in future.
The parish priest for Nsambwe COU, Rev. Edward Muyomba thanked Global Junior Schools for being so accountable by inviting community members to show them what is happening in their school for 20 years of existence, saying this is a rare occurrence especially in a privately owned school.
