Yes, but what will be taught about jihad? From the [1] US Embassy Kampala website (scroll down), with thanks to Nicolei:

On August 9, 2004 the United States Ambassador to Uganda, Jimmy Kolker, signed three grant awards to fund the construction of Muslim Primary Schools. The grants totaling more than Ushs 52 million will be executed by the Uganda Muslim Education Association (UMEA), under the guidance of UMEA Secretary General Abubakar S. Kakembo, who signed on behalf of the schools.

The beneficiaries of the grant include Nakagere Muslim Primary School in Mukono District, Lubugumu Muslim Primary School in Wakiso District and Busoolwe Muslim Primary School in Tororo District).

Through the grants the U.S. Embassy further signals its desire to work closely with Uganda's Muslim community to identify and address core needs.
