Project Zawadi’s cooperation with Busore began in 2003 with the first cohort of five sponsored students. Over the years Busore has been an active partner with the Sponsorship Program. In 2003 Project Zawadi donors worked to raise money to construct a classroom at Busore by raising donations through house parties. In 2018, the school was in danger of closing due to the collapse of the student toilets.

Busore was already being considered for the Model Schools program and though the evaluation process wasn’t complete, with such an immediate need, Project Zawadi provided financial support for the construction of 12 toilets allowing the school to stay open. Once the evaluation process was completed, Busore was selected to participate in the first cohort of Model Schools and the strategic planning process began in earnest.

In the summer of 2018 when the Busore community created a Model School Task Force whose job it was to gathering input from stakeholders and guide the development of a five-year strategic plan. Through a series of meetings, the task force conducted a community inventory, identified strengths and needs, and began work on the strategic plan. Completed in early 2019, the strategic plan reflects the communities priorities for its school.
