The Australian woman changing lives in Uganda, one student at a time.

In 2008, Annabelle Chauncy, a 21-year-old Australian backpacker, visited a school in Uganda, a country that had the highest school dropout rates in the world. Shocked by what she saw, she decided to act.

Eighteen years later, her foundation, School for Life, oversees three schools with a combined student capacity of 1700, employs 150 Ugandans, and has profoundly changed the lives of thousands of students, their parents, and the communities in which they live.

Most of these children are the first in their families to finish high school. Many go on to attend university. All will use their education, in big and small ways, to help break the cycle of poverty.

Told with raw honesty and unwavering compassion, this story is a powerful reminder of how the world can change when a determined person with a vision decides it should.

‘Annabelle is a life-changer, but her story and achievements will change you.’ Zoë Foster Blake

‘What Annabelle has built is truly remarkable, and her story is a powerful reminder of the difference one person can make when compassion is matched with courage, resilience and unwavering purpose.’ Gemma Sisia, founder of The School for St Jude
