Roof of School Building – replacement needed

Recently, one of the school building was leaking from the roof. Further inspections revealed structural damages that meant the replacement of the roof vs. just repairing it. Otherwise the whole buildung would be collapsing soon. „The Lake Bunyonyi Secondary School Project from Belgium Antwerp“ funded the majority and we helped also with a donation of 2M UGX to help buy the necessary materials. As you can see from the picturess, some of the students first helped to get the old roof down, then they replaced the supporting structure and now the new roof is installed and school can continue!

Hair cutter machine on its way

It is something small, but should help a lot of children. Currently, all students have to leave the island to get a haircut. That means finding and paying for a boat ride or paddeling endlessly in one of the few dug outs that can weigh up to 1000kg and travel at about 1km per hour.

Now we are sending a professional hair cutting machine, so the kids can cut their own hair.
