Dear Donor,
we hope you are well! We'd like to bring you the news of our project at 7 schools in Alebtong, Uganda.
- Teachers have already gained theoretical knowledge through a workshop on holistic school development. However, it became clear that they lack the practical skills and methodological expertise needed for everyday school life.
A comprehensive training program for all 89 teachers is intended to address this. This should enable them to create motivating, effective, and child-friendly learning environments.
- The construction of energy-efficient stoves has made it possible to introduce regular school meals. The goal is for costs to be fully covered by parental contributions after the project ends. However, implementation has shown that these contributions are not paid regularly and are affected by factors such as prolonged droughts with shorter rainy seasons and longer dry spells.
Despite accompanying training sessions, it has become clear that the knowledge and implementation of gardening in schools, as well as parental contributions, have so far been insufficient to ensure sustainable food security for students.
For this reason, members of the school community are now receiving advanced training in gardening, supplemented by the provision of climate-resilient seeds. This will strengthen self-sufficiency in food production and ensure the long-term sustainability of school meals.

Dear Donor,
we hope you are well! We'd like to bring you the news of our project at 7 schools in Alebtong, Uganda.
- To ensure a deepened understanding of hygiene and the maintenance of sanitary facilities, the children are learning about these topics in a playful way. Together with Viva con Agua Uganda, creative formats like „Football for WASH“, „Dance for WASH“ and „Art for WASH“ have been developed, in which children can consolidate their knowledge.
- Due to the increase in student numbers, several project schools lack sufficient seating—almost half of the children have to sit on the floor. To improve learning conditions, 294 school desks are now being provided. These enable the children to concentrate and follow lessons in a comfortable position. At the same time, they contribute to a more hygienic learning environment – especially during the rainy season, when the floor is damp or infested with insects.
- To follow up the workshops about menstrual hygiene, sustainable structures to anchor the knowledge are being established: in “girls' clubs”, menstruating schoolgirls can exchange ideas, empower each other, and take action together. The clubs create safe spaces and help to ensure that menstruation is no longer a taboo subject.
Thank you so much 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 more girls going to school - exciting news for you from our project at 7 schools in Alebtong, Uganda!
Read here all of our achievements since May at 7 schools in the Alebtong district in northern Uganda:
- Energy-saving stoves with significantly increased capacity and school gardens were installed at four schools. As a result, regular school meals are now provided, leading to higher attendance rates and better grades, among other benefits.
- To improve sanitary conditions, a total of 80 latrines have been built. The latrine blocks for girls also include a washroom that can be used during menstruation.
- Many older female students have returned to school thanks to the improved conditions: at Atelelo School, the number of girls has risen from 230 (at the beginning of 2024) to over 800! In addition, each latrine block has been equipped with a rainwater collection system, a 1,000-litre water tank and seven hand washing facilities per school.
- Due to water shortages, in addition to the three newly built wells at the Ebule, Obangangeo and Atelelo primary schools, four other wells at the Obuo, Omoro North, Omele Modern and Agoro primary schools were renovated. Not only the pupils, but the entire communities benefit from the newly created access to clean water.
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!
Until then all the best,
