Giving Digest | Teacher Asiimwe - Giving Beyond the Classroom

Claire Asiimwe’s story is one of radical giving. At Kabale Secondary School, she teaches English and Literature, but her true gift lies in mentoring, counselling, and even adopting children who would otherwise be left without care. From helping girls stay in school, to starting savings groups for teachers, to instilling practical skills in students, Asiimwe has become more than a teacher, she is a lifeline. Her acts of generosity ripple far beyond the classroom, proving that giving is not only about money but about presence, sacrifice, and love.

Her journey challenges us to ask: how can we give beyond our job titles and daily routines? For Asiimwe, giving means sheltering the orphan, mentoring the vulnerable, and equipping learners with skills for life. For you, it might mean sponsoring a child, volunteering your time, or contributing to initiatives that support teachers like her. Giving in education multiplies, it creates leaders, innovators, and changemakers. Give today and stand with those who teach not just lessons but life itself.
