Construction of 5 permanent classrooms - New Hope school

Uganda
|
Mbata

Problem/ Context

NEW HOPE Nursery and Primary School, located in Mbata Village, Mbata Parish, Bwesumbu Sub-County, Kasese District, Uganda, is facing a serious challenge of inadequate permanent classroom infrastructure. The school currently serves 316 pupils and employs 13 teachers, but it lacks permanent classroom buildings to provide a safe, stable, and conducive learning environment for its learners.The absence of permanent classrooms exposes pupils to difficulties during adverse weather conditions and affects the effective delivery of lessons. It also limits the school's ability to improve the quality of education, provide adequate learning space, and support the educational needs of children from rural and economically disadvantaged families.

The school owns land on which permanent classrooms can be constructed; however, limited financial resources have made it difficult for the school administration and parents to undertake the construction independently.

This situation threatens the school's efforts to provide quality and inclusive education to children in the community. We therefore urgently seek support for the construction of five permanent classrooms at an estimated cost of UGX 56,000,000. The project will improve learning conditions, strengthen teaching effectiveness, and provide a better educational foundation for the 316 pupils currently enrolled at NEW HOPE Nursery and Primary School.

Detailed project description

Project Title: Construction of Five Permanent Classrooms for NEW HOPE Nursery and Primary School

NEW HOPE Nursery and Primary School is a private rural school located in Mbata Village, Bwesumbu Sub-County, Kasese District, Uganda. The school serves 316 pupils and employs 13 teachers. However, the school lacks permanent classroom buildings, creating challenges in providing a safe and conducive learning environment.

The project aims to construct five permanent classrooms on the school's existing land to improve access to quality education for children in the community.

The required materials include cement, bricks, sand, aggregates, iron sheets, timber, steel reinforcement bars, doors, windows, roofing materials, and other essential construction materials. The estimated project cost is UGX 56,000,000, with an implementation period of approximately six months.

The expected results are improved learning conditions for 316 pupils, enhanced teaching effectiveness for 13 teachers, increased access to quality education, and sustainable classroom infrastructure for the school.

The school administration is committed to proper project supervision, accountability, and maintenance of the completed facilities. We respectfully seek support from Action Education's partners or members towards the successful implementation of this project.

We need six additional buildings to develop a complete primary school and provide children with proper access to education. Many children in our community are at risk of growing up without an education, losing opportunities, direction and hope for a better future simply because we lack adequate educational facilities.The nearest primary school from Olpopongi is approximately 9 kilometres away. There is a large river between the village and the school, which becomes difficult and sometimes impossible for children to cross during the rainy season. Our area is also home to wild animals, including elephants, which can pose a serious danger to children travelling long distances on foot.These challenges make accessing education extremely difficult and sometimes unsafe for our children. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, follow their dreams and build a better future, regardless of where they are born

PROBLEM / CONTEXT: The JM Manavotra Private High School, located in Alakamisy Ambohimaha, currently has approximately 115 students across several grade levels. Despite the administration's efforts to ensure quality education, the school faces several challenges that limit its capacity and the students' learning conditions. Among the main difficulties encountered: School infrastructure remains insufficient, with some buildings still unfinished.

The number of students is high compared to the school's capacity. Classrooms and school equipment are inadequate. The lack of desks and benches makes studying difficult for some students. The school lacks computer equipment to facilitate learning new technologies. Limited financial resources prevent the school from meeting all its needs. Given this situation, external support is necessary to improve infrastructure, strengthen school equipment, and provide students with a more suitable, safe, and conducive learning environment for their academic success.
