Let's get closer with us

Welcome to Eastern Lakeside Primary School, where hope, education, and dreams flourish on the beautiful Zzinga Island in Busiro South, Uganda.

At Eastern Lakeside, we believe that every child deserves a quality education, regardless of their circumstances. Our mission is to provide underprivileged children with the opportunity to receive an education that can break the cycle of poverty and create a brighter future.

Our Inspiring Journey

In 2010, Eastern Lakeside Primary School was just a dream in the heart of Prof. Xavier Mugisha, a retired Professor at Makerere University in Uganda. Zzinga Island, our home, was in a state of neglect – overgrown with bushes and devoid of hope for quality education.

But Prof. Mugisha saw potential where others saw despair. He envisioned a brighter future for the children of this island and was determined to make a difference. With unwavering dedication and support from the local community, Prof. Mugisha laid the foundation of our school, which has since become a beacon of hope.

Today, our school stands as a testament to the power of vision, determination, and the collective efforts of our community. We are committed to continuing this journey, uplifting lives, and shaping a better future for Zzinga Island and its children.

Prof. Xavier Mugisha

Prof. Xavier Mugisha is a remarkable individual whose passion for education and community development has left an indelible mark on the Zzinga Island community. Born and raised in Uganda, Prof. Mugisha’s journey is a testament to the power of education to change lives.
