DEFICIENT SANITATION: UNUSABLE TOILETS

Poor sanitation in rural Uganda forces students to use nearby bushes instead of safe toilets. This lack of dignified WASH facilities increases disease risk and causes frequent school absence.

Students at Rwakobo Primary School in rural Uganda now attend school with dignity and safety. Clean facilities protect their health and restore hope for the future.

UNSUSTAINABLE
FOOD SUPPLY: NO GARDENS OR FARMS

Hunger and poor nutrition disrupts daily learning. Without sustainable school gardens or reliable food programs, many students struggle to attend class consistently.

BROKEN SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE: UNSAFE CLASSROOMS AND KITCHEN

Overcrowded classrooms and unsafe kitchen facilities limit effective learning. Inadequate infrastructure makes it difficult for schools to provide daily meals and a safe learning environment.

In under two weeks, repairs transformed the school kitchen into a safer space for daily meals and learning. Students now benefit from a renovated kitchen, new plates and bowls, and handwashing stations.

UNABLE TO AFFORD SCHOOL UNIFORMS AND LUNCHES

Financial hardship prevents many families from providing uniforms or regular meals. As a result, students face barriers to attendance, participation, and academic progress.

LACK OF ORGANIZED SPORTS TEAMS AND EQUIPMENT

Without access to sports programs, jerseys, or equipment, students miss opportunities for teamwork, leadership development, and school engagement.

New soccer equipment and jerseys helped form organized teams, building teamwork, leadership, and school pride. Equal participation for girls also strengthened confidence and promoted gender equality.

SANITATION = EDUCATION

Obstacles to education are abound in Uganda. If children don't have proper facilities, they may not come to school. 

When we recognized the urgent need for sanitation, we constructed a pit latrine expected to serve students
for more than 20 years.
