The Education project is to assist the school in construction and rehabilitating infrastructure and learning materials. The main concern is the realization of sustainable development in which the children, teachers and the community are involved in positive activities that will ensure socio-economic welfare in the entire locality and ensure proper learning environment by providing habitable accommodation.
Developments do not come to these remote parts of Muira Village in Iganga district easily. As an example since 2017 when the school was destroyed by a storm, the school has been using dilapidated classrooms; the school enrollment has since gone down from 1000 students to about 200 currently. The major constraint for children and parents is that the most nearby primary schools are between the walking distances of 5 and 20 kms or 2 and 5 hours respectively.
There will be peaceful co-existence and development in which everyone participate equally and effectively in problem and solution identification and where local communities and other developmental bodies facilitate and carry out skills transfer to the younger generation who are not fortunate enough to be afforded or even to go to school.
Quality education for 1,000 students delivered through creation of students friendly learning spaces: i) Improved standards of life among teaching staff at Muira primary School. ii) Increased enrollments up to 2,000 students and enhancement of habitable classrooms.
