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.

The klapleu modern middle school is a school established in a rural area. It is planned to operate on a two-track basis from sixth grade through ninth grade, which means a projected total of 8 classrooms. However, since its opening in 2025, there have been only 4 classrooms instead of the 8 planned. From 20 students at the start, there are now 173 students spread across 3 grade levels (6th, 5th, and 4th). The growing student enrollment. Therefore requires the construction and equipment of the remaining 4 classrooms.

The CRS school, founded in 1995, serves students from disadvantaged backgrounds. As a result, it faces many challenges that affect academic performance. In addition, the poor condition of the restrooms makes the children feel uncomfortable. Consequently, they relieve themselves outside the school.

For the past three years, we have been renting a room and space to house our preschool.
We started with 40 students and now have 80. We serve students in the younger, middle, and older preschool classes, as well as a special education class designed to support children who left public school at a very young age, as well as those facing learning challenges, to help them overcome them.
With our limited resources, we are struggling not only to build our own school but also to accommodate more students.
