Project plan

This project takes place at a school in the south-west of Uganda. About 50 orphaned children live permenantly at the school premesis and 200 other children visit the school daily. The project consist of the construction of a RHW system to provide the children with safe drinking water and the construction of 2 extra toilets for the Kindergarten, which will be attended by 80 children.

Sustainability of the project has our highest attention. The cost for operation and maintenance of the facilities is included in the annual budget of the school. In time, the aim is to make the school less and less dependable on donations. For now, funding of the schoolchlildren is guarenteed throughout their primary school years by means of a reliable group of sponsors. A school garden provides the school with basic food items, which contributes to better health conditions and a higher degree of self-sufficiency.
