Improve education quality at 4 schools in Uganda

Dear Donor,

we hope you are well! We'd like to bring you the news of our earthquake relief for 4 schools in the Otuke district in northern Uganda.

Read here about our achievements at the 4 schools since November:

• Construction work is nearing completion at all four project schools with three new school buildings for the Alangi, Amoni, and Amele schools fully constructed. Finishing touches such as interior and exterior plastering are currently underway, so that students will soon be able to attend classes in the new classrooms. The four menstrual hygiene facilities are also nearing completion.
• Further progress of the constrouction work on the latrines: the buildings have been completely erected and roofed. Final measures such as painting and the installation of hand washing facilities will follow in the coming weeks.
• WASH workshops were held to ensure the sustainable use of the new sanitary infrastructure. During these workshops, the students learned why hygiene is so important in everyday school life and how they themselves can contribute to a clean environment.
• Hygiene clubs were set up at all four schools to ensure that hygiene routines are followed and improvements are implemented together in the future.
• In mental health workshops, 58 teachers learned how to recognize early signs of mental stress, respond appropriately, and create a supportive learning environment. 423 students took part in workshops on the causes of mental stress, self-confidence, and resilience. A committee was also set up at each school to promote mental well-being in everyday school life.

Thank you for your support so far! It is only thanks to donors like you that we can successfully implement our projects.

Much progress in the construction work and many trainings conducted - exciting news for you from our project at 4 schools in Uganda!

Read here all of our achievements since July at 4 schools in the Otuke district in northern Uganda:

• The construction of latrine blocks has begun and is already well advanced at the Amele and Oderokech schools.
• School meal programmes have been launched in three of the four schools, supported by donations from parents.
• The wells at the Alangi and Oderokech schools have been renovated and fenced in, so that not only the pupils but also the surrounding community can now benefit from clean drinking water.
• Mental health training for teachers, parents and pupils has been successfully carried out, raising awareness of mental health, stress management and children's well-being.
• The community has been actively involved in training on the Whole School Improvement Approach (WSIA) and WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene), establishing hygiene and sanitation clubs and developing action plans for school improvement.

Without your support, our work would not be possible. If you want to stay up to date with our work and get more insights, feel free to follow us on Instagram!
