Real Barriers. Real Change.
Many students in Uganda want an education but face daily barriers like unsafe sanitation, hunger, and overcrowded classrooms. Your support removes barriers like poor sanitation and limited resources—empowering students in Uganda to stay in school, advocate for themselves, and build their future.
OUR PROJECTS DRIVE REAL IMPACT
30%+
Increase in School Attendance
DEFICIENT SANITATION: UNUSABLE SCHOOL BATHROOMS
Poor sanitation in rural Uganda forces students to use nearby bushes instead of safe toilets. This lack of dignified 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.
New Pit Latrine and Handwashing Station
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.
Student-led Gardening
and Sustainability Programs
Today, student-led garden programs help children grow their own food while building confidence, life skills, and improving school attendance.
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 provide 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.
