St Helens: Its a relationship

At Edukid, we’ve had the absolute pleasure of working alongside St Helen’s in Devon for the past 11 years. This relationship has grown into a powerful, long-term relationship between the school community in Devon and a partner school in Uganda. Over the years, we’ve watched the pupils at St Helen’s show incredible compassion, commitment, and curiosity about the world around them.

Through fundraising, awareness-raising, and taking part in Edukid’s global education projects – including immersive virtual reality experiences and even overseas teacher visits – St Helen’s has helped to transform the lives of children in Uganda by supporting their education.

One of the most moving parts of this journey has been watching the Ugandan children supported by St Helen’s transition from primary school to secondary school – and now even university. And perhaps even more amazing: students from St Helen’s who began this journey in primary school have grown up, continued their involvement with Edukid, and some have even visited Uganda themselves. They’ve had the incredible opportunity to meet and spend time with the very children their school community helped support years earlier.
