ABOUT
A child without proper education is like building without a proper and firm foundation. The rural villages surrounding Budaka town, eastern Uganda have limited quality educational amenities. St Clare’s Girl’s High School has consistently been seeking to fill the gap by
providing exceptional educational high school opportunities for girls. Due to the gender gap
discrepancies, the need for schools like St Clare’s is even more urgent.
Recognizing the need to provide opportunities for girls to stay in school Joseph and Juliet Rainer founded the
school. Juliet originally worked as a nurse until being elected as a member of Parliament for her district, Joseph Rainer originally came to Uganda in 1954 from the Province of South Tyrol in Italy as a missionary. He set up the Christian Children’s Fund in East Africa in 1973, and served as the African Regional Director until retiring in 1988. For many years they were committed to improving economic and educational opportunities for people in Juliet’s home region in eastern Uganda. Founding St Clare’s Girls High School was one of their many and successful efforts.
