Better Transport
4 August 2011

One of our greatest problems is access to distant villages, often requiring rough travel along deeply rutted tracks or through floods. Our little truck was too small and just could not cope but a very generous Wulugu friend stepped in to help by funding a stronger work-horse

New life for Kpatorigu
4 August 2011

The Kitchen Table Trust have made it possible for us to completely repair Kpatorigu Junior High School. This school had lost its roof and walls were half collapsed—meaning that little real schooling was happening when it was hot or rainy—most of the year. When a school closes for more than a short period the numbers of girls who return is always reduced as they are taken to help with siblings, help with selling or crop work and rarely return.

Now we can keep our good Teachers at Lukula
4 August 2011

Thanks to the foresight of a very loyal donor we have been able to tackle the problem of teachers not wanting to work at the remoter schools. We have build a block of simple rooms at Lukula and these will greatly encourage recruitment and retention, particularly of female teachers to act as role models for the girls.

Our Sixth Vocational School for girls ready to open
2 August 2011

The community at Karaga have begged us to help for some time. We are delighted that a very caring Foundation decided to enable them to have a vocational school. The chief gave a large amount of land, the locals paid to extend electricity to the school and teachers and equipment are ready for it to open in September. Next we need to build a hostel for girls returning to education from distant locations, many from menial and damaging work in the cities.

More Neglected Schools with Desks thanks to kind Donors
2 August 2011

When children have to sit on the floor of a dark and overcrowded classroom, learning is far from ideal. Desks greatly help with education and build morale for the teachers and head. We are at present making and sending desks to Sakpala, Mempeasan, Zooyiri and Sakpeja Primary schools—all in ‘Overseas’ and Academy Junior High in Biupe. Academy Junior High is one of the collapsed schools that we have re-built.

Lukula Primary, where we have helped by providing more classrooms, is also proud of its new desks. Lukula is one of our ‘miracles’. It is 4-5 hours travel by rough track from the nearest place where materials for construction of rooms or desks can be found. This is one reason why other agencies neglect the places that we help but we are particularly proud of the help we give to these very neglected communities that are striving to make life better for their children and future generations.
