Project Number: Matching Grant Project #71963
International Partners: RC- Surry Sunrise, RC-Mount Airy and RC-King, RC-Hillsville
Project Locations: St. Bakhita Nursery School and Gulu University.
St. Bakhita Nursery School in Gulu District is one the community owned Nursery schools that has a population of about 360 pupils and 20 staff. This school was slated to be closed by the Government Health Inspectors unless clean working toilets system was built. The then current
latrine was full and the school did not have enough money to quickly and urgently save the situation by building a working pit latrine.
The Borehole at Gulu University, one of Northern Uganda's only University was in a bad shape and needed a major repair. The borehole which served over 2000 students and the surrounding community was now spoiled and money was not readily available to repair it.
As Kitgum Rotary, We identified the need and moved in quickly in Rotary Spirit to extend help. A good Pit Latrine was constructed and the school was saved from closure and continues to run to date. The Borehole was fixed and the students are now using the water for their daily consumption.
Rotary Club of Kitgum would like to appreciate the support from Rotary International, Rotary Clubs of Surry Sunrise (USA), Mount Airy (USA) and RC-King(USA) for coming in quickly to partner with us to save lives of our young future leaders. A generation of people who will change the world in future.
