Uganda: Moving 2 Kampala, HELLLLP!!!!!:

Hi there, Not sure I can help, but thought I would just say hello. There are cheaper schools. What area do you need to live in - i.e. do you have a job that you are coming to? Traffic is horrendous, so its a good idea to plan around that too. There are apartments and self-contained cottages/rooms attached to houses too - may be a bit tricky with the children though. I have seen a 2 bedroomed house for 750/month, so am sure you can find what you are looking for. I don't know about the Agha Khan school - sorry. Have you thought of home-schooling? I don't do that but many moms out the Makindye area do and get together for social/sports/play. Hmmm. Not sure what else to tell you - there is a lot, but first you need to decide regarding school/accommodation/job - where are you coming from? Are you bringing furniture/container or just clothes - if the latter, its not a problem, a lot of expats selling 2nd hand when they leave and affordable furniture off the markets too. Terri

Kenya: Which school and housing question:

Hi, We are considering relocating to Nairobi - due to my husband's employment. I would like to choose a good British Curriculum school - any thoughts as to Brookhouse vs Braeburn for Junior school? Also, is it better to choose a standalone house (safetywise) vs compound living? We have lived in a few African countries and have enjoyed standalone homes more - just seems to be quite a few rentals for the compound. Thanks to anyone who can help Terri
