SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION UGANDA
The NGO "Our Children and Our Future" has been promoting education in Uganda since 2003. In Bukomansimbi, a school with four classrooms was opened in 2016 after lessons had started under a tree a year earlier. Grades 1-7 are taught to 130 children, and another 100 students attend the preschool. In 2020, the school was forced to close due to the COVID-19 epidemic. After reopening in 2022, student enrollment has increased further due to the permanent closure of other schools.
​
Most of the 156,000 inhabitants of the Bukomansimbi district live from the yield of small fields. 34% of school-age children are subject to child labor. Income is often below the poverty line of $1.90 per day. The area is particularly affected by HIV, resulting in many AIDS orphans.
​
Education is the means to fight poverty, prevent early pregnancies and improve life and job opportunities. Therefore, with our support, the Trinity Academy will be expanded by the addition of a three-story building which includes a dormitory and six classrooms. The school will then have the capacity to enroll 450 pupils.
