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.
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 school’s two buildings are unfinished and dilapidated; they have 4 and 2 classrooms, respectively, for a total enrollment of 357 students. There are more than 65 students per class. The desks and benches are broken and insufficient. Three or more students sit on each bench instead of two.
ESTABLISHED in 2000. I have been running this school for three years now. But there are no amenities for these students. Under the previous principal, enrollment was at a maximum of 90 students. When I arrived, after giving the school a few coats of paint, I had 120 students in the first year, then 180, and 187 this year.
The school originally planned (32 classrooms) was not fully completed due to a lack of funding. The current capacity (6 classrooms) is insufficient to meet the needs of the village and the surrounding areas.
