School Improvement Program:
Several of us at Educate Uganda have visited schools in the Nkokonjeru area and have seen the dilapidated school buildings, inadequate classroom space, unsanitary latrines, and the severe need for educational materials. At Educate Uganda we understand that simply paying for the children to attend school is not enough.
There are 21 schools which have orphans participating in the program (see Sponsorship Program). We are currently analyzing each school to determine their specific needs. These needs include the most basic objectives: school buildings, teaching materials, latrines, desks, chalkboards, improved water sources and other things to make these schools a healthy and safe learning environment.
Currently, we are building additional classrooms and latrines for a jungle school in Nnyermawa called St. Gyaviira. This school currently has two classrooms which educate children through the 4th grade. With the additional classrooms they will be able to educate students through the 7th grade. Without the additional classrooms, children have to walk several miles through the jungle to continue their studies at a different school or simply stop their education after the 4th grade.
