2. School uniform set, including dress uniform plus sports kit of shorts & tee shirt
|
|
|
Sports clothes in red, yellow or blue are part of the Uniform Set that also includes a lavender dress outfit.

All licensed schools in Uganda encourage students to wear uniforms. Students wear them proudly and uniforms make kids feel part of the school. Many poor families can’t afford uniforms for their children.

|
In many of the poor homes, most of the youngsters sleep in one bed. It may simply be a pile of straw or rags on the floor. A mattress and bedding set is a huge boost for the entire family

The Artisan’s Guild has rented a very modest storefront on the highway to sell their crafts. Ugandans in this region of the country are skillful basket makers and weavers. Start up money is needed to outfit their shop, provide training, and help establish retail and wholesale markets for their crafts.

Furniture like this for classrooms is manufactured locally and provides jobs in the community.

We are gradually accumulating a library of resources as our school grows by one primary level each year. New books and teacher resources are needed as we expand. Computers are in short supply, and we are gradually outfitting our project leaders and educators with good quality used machines with Windows software.
