Uganda Humanist Schools Trust was set up as a charity in November 2008 to raise funds to help Ugandan Humanists to establish schools that offer inclusive education based on reason, compassion and tolerance. All schools teach the Uganda national curriculum and prepare students for public examinations. At the same time, they aim to develop self-confident students who care for each other and for their local communities. The schools encourage students to be open minded and questioning. They are taught to respect evidence and to appreciate the need for shared human values. In order to foster a spirit of understanding, students are introduced to both religious, as required by the national curriculum, and secular humanist life stances.

​The schools aim to offer an effective, caring and distinctive learning environment for children in deprived rural areas, which respects:

* freedom of thought and expression;
* rational enquiry, science and the need to support argument with evidence;
* human rights, gender and racial equality, and the rights of individuals to choose their personal life stance;
* high levels of achievement and social responsibility.
