Krystle Botermans

In February 2008, at the age of 19, Krystle set off to volunteer with Child2Youth in Uganda, Africa to pursue her passion for helping people.

She later went on to study International Development Studies to learn the theory and best practices in the field.

Good plan right?… Yes, until she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.

Unfortunately, Krystle’s Brain tumour recently decided to turn aggressive, and she is no longer with us.

But the kiddies still need our help!

Help Krystle’s legacy to live on! A donation of any amount is appreciated toward the building of this nursery.

About the Krystle Botermans Nursery School to be built in Kyambogo Village in Uganda Africa:

Under the education system of Uganda, Nursery education is essential where children as old as two and half years are enrolled to start their education careers. Given the tender age at which they start education, children need to go to Nursery schools within or near their  homes/ communities.

For Kyambogo village and nearby communities where recognized Nursery schools are missing, children have to walk long distances over 5 miles to get access to nursery education. During rainy seasons, it becomes worse and difficult for the children to walk hence they stay at home missing the day’s
education, which at the end affects their academic performances.

The coming up of Krystle’s Nursery School in Kyambogo village will be a blessing to Kyambogo village and nearby communities and a great relief to the Nursery age group children who will no longer have to walk the long distances to access Nursery education.

In Kyambogo village, land for the construction of the proposed Nursery school is available hence no need to spend money buying land.

Generally the communities around Kyambogo village where we want to construct the Nursery school are of low income people who are also enjoying almost free medical services of Sisters of St. Joseph Clinic.

Kyambogo village including nearby communities have big numbers of Nursery age children although some children are not attending due to poverty and long distances covered as mentioned above.

Kyambogo village is within Child2Youth Foundation operational areas hence supervision for the nursery school will be easy.
