We promote collaboration, demonstrate integrity, and ensure that our goals are achieved with clarity, fairness, and mutual respect.
About REN Intl
Rural Education Network International (REN Intl) is a small UK registered charitable organisation that raises funds to support and guard the founding vision of eradicating rural illiteracy in Koch-Lii, Nwoya District in Northern Uganda through Willow Nursery and Primary School so that it can grow and flourish. The Charity and the School were both founded in 2016 by Moreen Pattison.
Our Projects
Borehole
Through the generosity of our partners we were able to raise funds to drill a borehole that is providing clean drinking water for the school and surrounding community.
Classroom Blocks
We are constructing classroom blocks to provide children with a safe, conducive, and well-equipped learning environment.
School Farm
We encourage healthy eating by planting food crops for the children such as maize, beans and onions. These tend to vary from season to season.
Bunk Beds
We have been able to buy beds for the boys and girls dormitories. This has helped to provide a better sleeping environment and has improved school attendance.
