Housing Finance Bank has pledged Shs80 million to the eighth NSSF Kampala Hills Run at the launch event on Monday.
The contribution supports NSSF's campaign to raise Shs1 billion for renovating ten public schools nationwide.
Planned improvements include classroom facilities, sanitation and digital literacy access for learners.
The 2026 Kampala Hills Run is scheduled for December 6 at Kololo Independence Grounds.
Bank Managing Director Michael Mugabi said the sustainability agenda extends beyond financing homes to supporting communities.
Mugabi described education as an important foundation for financial inclusion during his remarks.
NSSF Managing Director Patrick Ayota said the run complements government efforts to improve education infrastructure.
Ayota noted the need remains enormous and more resources are required to address gaps in public schools.
Previous editions have supported renovations in 25 public primary schools benefiting over 40,000 learners daily.
Interventions reportedly contributed to a 12% enrolment increase and 10% dropout reduction at beneficiary schools.
MTN, Aquafina and Next Media are among other corporate partners backing this year's event.
