Roofings Group has reaffirmed its corporate commitment to human capital development through a UGX 3.5 billion investment aimed at revitalising infrastructure and elevating academic standards in local schools.

According to Roofings Group Brand Manager Edwin Abasa, the intervention was designed to transform a public institution that had previously suffered from dilapidated infrastructure and continuous attempts by encroachers to grab its land.
“The school was selected after the company’s leadership assessed its condition and the needs of the surrounding community,” Abasa explained. He noted that the land-related security challenges have since been permanently resolved in partnership with the [Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA)](https://chimpreports.com/kcca-roofings-group-launch-shs 2-billion-redevelopment-of-kasubi-family-primary-school/), which manages the school. The multi-million shilling redevelopment is being fully funded by Roofings Group as part of its commitment to giving back to the community.
Abasa expressed optimism that Phase One will be completed soon, allowing pupils to move into the brand-new classrooms and clear the way for subsequent site works.
Project Lead Lucky Ninsiima revealed that Phase Two is scheduled to kick off in November 2026. Once Phase One is occupied, the old, dilapidated school structures will be demolished to expand the campus footprint.
“Roofings Group’s ambition goes beyond constructing modern buildings,” Ninsiima stated. “The company simultaneously intends to support long-term improvements in the quality of education and teaching at the school.”
The Kasubi Family Primary School redevelopment reflects a broader, long-term corporate framework. Education stands as one of Roofings Group’s three core sustainability pillars, alongside Forever Forestry and Forever Health.
This initiative follows the company’s successful infrastructure partnership with St. Peter’s School in Namanve (Nantabulirwa). At St. Peter’s, Roofings Group previously invested in structural development and continues to sponsor 30 comprehensive scholarships every term for high-performing learners and underprivileged students from families unable to afford school fees.
