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.

Our pupil numbers have increased, and we have been forced to triple the size of the SIL and CP classes, double the size of the CM1 class, and use the parish hall – which is outside the school grounds – for the CM2 class. We therefore wish to plan ahead for the start of the next school year.

In rural areas around Hargeisa, many children from low-income families face significant barriers to accessing quality education due to the lack of schools, long distances to existing educational facilities, and limited financial resources. As a result, many children are unable to attend school or continue their education. Girls and vulnerable children are particularly affected by these challenges. This project aims to address these problems by building a school that provides accessible, safe, and affordable quality education for children from disadvantaged families. The school will help improve literacy, create equal educational opportunities, and contribute to the long-term development of the local community.
