Provide sanitation for 934 Ugandan Students

Dear Donors, 

In the past four months running from April 25, 2024, to August 20, 2024, we thrived to achieve the goals the Matinza Sanitation project has set out to do. The Right to Quality Education team has continuously aimed to generate as many donations as possible, amongst others through a close collaboration with the UWC primary school in Maastricht. Following the “Walk for Water” event that took place at the school on April 11th, we have established close collaboration between UWC Maastricht and Matinza School. The children now regularly send letters to one another and maintain close contact. Furthermore, we are in close contact with the stakeholders of the Matinza primary school to obtain new and correct information for our future projects.

Additionally, we are expanding the expertise and knowledge of our Right to Quality Education team. We have recruited a new set of volunteers who have experience in managing projects, fundraising, and advertising effectively so that we can complete the project. The new volunteers mobilize their direct environment for donations as a next step and are currently coming up with a more sustainable plan on how to generate regular donations. As part of our continuous effort to reach out to new possible donors (both, schools and companies) we have adjusted our fundraising strategies based on the GlobalGiving workshops and other valuable sources of input. As a team, we are currently working on a brochure that entails all of our ongoing projects and a new promotional video to make a collaboration more appealing to potential new donors. We are also working on the final touches of our magazine where interested individuals can read more about our purpose and projects.

Furthermore, we took part in the July Bonus Day Campaign organized by GlobalGiving during which we raised a total of EUR 300. All the funds raised will go directly towards the Matinza project to ensure that the children are provided with renovated sanitary facilities as soon as possible, ensuring a safe learning environment for both children and teachers. 

Please let us share a message with all donors: You make a huge impact on the lives of many school girls and boys by providing them with proper sanitation and adequate water, by doing so combating absenteeism and preventing the lack of access to quality education. Be sure to follow the Centre for African Justice, Peace, and Human Rights on social media to be informed about updates on the Matinza project and any upcoming events.
