This year is going to be the biggest yet! We’ve set ourselves a new target – the building of another school in Uganda, in the village of Kensekka (pronounced “ken – sek – ka”). With a population of just 5,780, they have 364 students (195 girls and 169 boys) plus 10 teachers who require a dwelling in order to complete their education.
And it’s not just a new school we’re planning, it’s a dedicated health care program and infrastructure required to ensure there are no barriers to youth in Kensekka receiving a quality education. The exciting project includes:
- 10 classrooms
- 1 staff room
- 2 administration offices
- Bio-gas kitchen
- Incinerator
- Toilet block
- Amphitheatre
- Staff quarters
- School furniture
- Reading and Literacy tools
- Fully landscaped gardens and farming area
- 2 meals per day for every student
We’ve given ourselves a completion date of July 2017.
