About this project
Moses O. from Kyabirwa Primary School Project CBO is responsible for this project
Kyabirwa Primary School is a poor rural school, in a subsistence farming area 6 kilometers from Jinja. The School started a Volunteer Project there 2 years ago to develop the school and improve educational standards. Consequently pass results for the Primary Leavers Exam have gone up 20% in those 2 years! Children now receive a free porridge lunch which means that they can concentrate in the afternoon. Staff started a girl’s sanitation project to enable girls to attend school as menstruating as girls miss 25% of school time due to families’ inability to afford proper sanitary wear. There have been many great developments because of this project .
Now the school has electricity in a few rooms, the staff want to give remedial lessons to slow learners at school and literacy, IT & English lessons to local community adults. This will raise standards in the whole community and encourage parents to work with their children.
To do this, teachers need to live at the school. 4 already do, in the current accommodation which comprises 4x 2 room units in a terrace block. Cooking and bathing is outside. They all share a pit latrine. Each of these tiny 2 room units houses a teacher, their spouse and children.
This appeal is for funds to build another block of 4, 2 room units.
8 teachers will then live at school. They will no longer have to travel or pay a high rent as they do now and will be on site to teach after school and in the evening. It also means that due to reduced traveling time they will see more of their families.
This accommodation will lead to higher standards of academic achievement for children and adults as well as greater cooperation with improved relationships amongst the adults in the community.
Our wonderful volunteers will also be able to teach evening classes in English, Maths & IT which will be great for them and enable children and adults to learn more English that is vital so that they can communicate with foreigners and work in tourism and business which is the main income of this land locked country with few natural resources.
The building of this accommodation block to extend the work of the Kyabirwa Primary School CBO is a simple way to enhance the lives of people in Kyabirwa in perpetuity. We hope this inspires you to donate and become part of this new phase of development in the life of Kyabirwa Village.
