Dear Donor,
we hope you are well! Today, we'd like to bring you exciting news from our 7 schools in Uganda - the project has been successfully completed. Read all about our accomplishments here:
- From 2.6% to 100% access to safe drinking water
Today, all students at the seven project schools are reliably provided with clean water—a crucial foundation for better hygiene, improved health, and focused learning.
- Better hygiene in everyday school life
Thanks to the construction of 80 latrines and seven handwashing stations, as well as practical WASH workshops, hygiene conditions were sustainably improved. The share of students who wash their hands rose from 1% to 97%.
- Fewer absences during menstruation
With improved sanitation facilities, protected washrooms, and workshops on menstrual health, daily school life for many girls was enhanced. 83% know how to make and use reusable pads themselves. Menstruation-related absences decreased, and 81% of the students said they feel more comfortable at school during their period.
- No child is left alone with their worries
At all seven schools, support services were created for children experiencing psychological distress. Trained teachers provide ongoing support to affected students. 84% of the children have more knowledge about mental health, and parents were extensively sensitized.
- Less hunger, more concentration
At all seven schools, fixed school meal programs were introduced for the first time. 1,293 children benefit from school meals and are less likely to miss lessons due to hunger or to leave school early.
- More children have access to quality education
The number of students at the project schools increased during the project period by 16%, from 9,497 to 11,018. Educational quality also improved: the pass rate in the government final exams rose from 61% to 74%.
Thank you for your support for this project! It is only thanks to donors like you that we can successfully implement our projects.

Updates from our WASH programm Alebtong, Uganda

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.

News from our WASH programm Alebtong, Uganda

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.
