At the school
A School Rooted in Purpose & Care
Legacy Primary School was established by DivineAid Uganda in 2018 with a singular mission: to provide quality, affordable education to children in Lira City and the surrounding communities of Northern Uganda.
The school offers a safe, nurturing environment with trained teachers, a structured national curriculum, full scholastic materials, and a daily feeding programme — ensuring that no child is excluded from quality learning because of financial hardship.
With over 320 pupils enrolled and growing, Legacy Primary School is a beacon of hope for families across Lira City who believe their children deserve the very best start in life.

Why Families Choose Legacy
