Since 2014 we support the Victory Primary School in Kampala, Kazo (in one of the four slums of Kampala) and since 2015 in a rural region, at St. Marks School,Wanteete, Kayunga District and since 2016 at Rainbow House of Hope for the youth in Kampala.
WHAT HAVE WE ACHIEVED SO FAR?
Victory Primary School:
- Renovation of the roof of the school
- Mattresses for Boarding School
- Mosquito nets for the Boarding School
- Improvement of the fireplace (this can save more than two thirds of the firewood for cooking)
- Installing a water tank , to collect rainwater for drinking water
- The old buildings without windows have been in danger of collapsing (in 2 classrooms of a size of 10 square meters! have been teached around 50 kids). We could built up new rooms for the children
- In the school kitchen could be built 2 new chimneys. Now the smoke is not anymore drawing into the classrooms
- Distribution of reusable sanitary pads (www.afripads.com) to the needy girls.Girls often miss school because of having no access to monthly hygienical products

Victory Primary School:
- The school latrines for the 500 pupils are in very bad condition and not usable anymore in foreseeable time. We need urgently financial support to build new latrins
- Most of the children are living under poor conditions and schoolfees are not affordable. School sponsorships could help
St. Marks School, Wanteete:
- Actually we are planning to build up a scueing school, which improves community development and possibilities of income
- We welcome also schoolsponsorship , often school is the only opportunity to get one warm meal daily
- Installation of a water tank
Rainbow House of Hope:
- The costs of water are regularly increasing. We intend to build up a watertank to collect rainwater.Money can be saved and be used for scueing or school material
