Safety for our children is very important to us so we need to erect a fence all the way around our schools in Kasaka, Uganda. This will greatly improve security for all our staff and children and keep intruders out. The government of Uganda also insist that all schools are fenced.

During the day people and animals wander onto the school site and use it as a shortcut, this is not safe for our children. At night it is impossible for our guards to patrol all the borders of the school.

Please help us to put a good chain link fence around the property.

The cost of this project is about £11,000 of which we have raised about £2700 so far.

It is very common for students in Uganda to board at school, we currently have a small boarding section at our Secondary School and would very much like to expand it considerably. The current accommodation is a number of small 3 room blocks which will late become staff accommodation. We really need to build two more of these blocks this year at a cost of £6000 each.

The final plans for the secondary school include two permanent accommodation blocks one each for boys and girls. These are big projects total cost is about £120,000 for the 2.

Our mini bus has served us well for about the last 7 years, but is now getting old and is too small for the number of children we look after! We plan to replace it with a 30 seater mini bus.

As our schools grow security becomes a problem and we have been talking with the local police about the situation. We have been told that if we can build a police station on the edge of our property then the police will man it and that will increase security in the whole area.

They say we need to provide a building with a small office, 2 cells (male & female), a room for the police office to live in and a toilet. I estimate the cost to be around £12,000.
