Improving the learning environment

We work with partner school in each programme country to identify, and then fundraise for, infrastructure development priorities in order to improve the learning environment for the pupils at the school. Our partner schools are ACK St. Bartholomew’s School in Voi, Kenya; Ha Fusi High School in Teyateyaneng, Lesotho; Rwesasi Secondary School and Kamuganguzi Janan Luwum Memorial Secondary School near Kabale, Uganda.

Over the years we have supported a number of infrastructure development projects, including:

From the first brick to high school transformation at Fusi School

We have been supporting the infrastructure development of Fusi School right from its establishment in 2004. In this film, Ernest, a teacher at Fusi School, explains how we have helped the school develop its infrastructure in many ways over the years. Since this film was made, we have funded the construction of a new classroom at the school which has enabled it to transform into a high school and offer an additional two years of education to its pupils.

Building, renovating, extending and equipping dormitories

We have built a girls’ dormitory at Rwesasi Secondary School and renovated and extended the girls’ dormitory at our partner school in Uganda and renovated the boys’ dorms at Kamuganguzi Janan Luwum Memorial Secondary School in Uganda and our partner school Kenya. As a result, more than 950 children per year now have a safe space to sleep and study. We have also funded the purchase of bunk beds and installation of solar panels on the dormitories.

Income generation projects

We have supported the establishment of chicken coops and piggeries at our partner schools. Not only do these generate a valuable income for the schools, enabling them to keep their fees low, but they also provide key ingredients for more nutritious and varied school meals.
