A school that runs on the gifts of others.
The school relies totally on gifts to keep running. Thanks to many generous supporters it has come a long way, but there is still a way to go.

The buildings were made from mud with a thin layer of cement and paint over them, and were not very strong.

Aunt Elvi Projects

Library Book Drive
A school library plays a vital role in the life of a student. The goal of Aunt Elvi Mikoola Primary School’s library, the Fannie Rountree-Holloway Library, is to be a store house of knowledge, exhibiting positive impact on the academic achievement of the student.
The work of Windows of Hope continues. With your support, we have experienced wonderful progress at Aunt Elvi through the years. Our goal this year is to raise $3,000 to stock the library with books for students from grades 1-7, as well as, reading books for the nursery children. Can we count on your financial support?

Aunt Elvi Infrastructure
The first buildings were made from mud with a thin layer of cement and paint over them, and were not very strong. Windows of Hope funded a girls’ dormitory, opened in 2021.
The boys’ dormitory is still a prayer request. Your gift helps replace weak mud structures with strong, safe buildings for the children.
