Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Since starting at Clarify over 3 years' ago, I have been hugely passionate about, and proud of, the work that Clarify do both locally and the work that is done to help support 10 rural schools in the Mityana district of Uganda.

This year, I had the great honour of being chosen as one of 4 team members who get the chance to visit and be hands on in helping the Uganda project. Whilst there, we were tasked with painting 3 sets of teachers accommodation and 4 brand new school latrines to support their local community. We also visited 9 of the schools that we help support along with some of the teachers and students. 


It’s an amazing opportunity to witness first-hand the impact this work is
having on people’s lives there. Having just returned from Uganda, I can't stress enough how much of a difference every contribution makes.

This is our 9^th Annual trip and next year, for our 10^th anniversary of the charity, we have a huge project that we’re aiming to build… and we have a fairly challenging task ahead to fundraise for this!!

Therefore, I would be so incredibly grateful to anyone who is able to sponsor for all of the work we've done, and continue to do, out there. ALL proceeds go towards the foundation, none go towards our travel or funds out there.

Thank you so much in advance – I can’t tell you how much it means.

n.b. I have provided a little more of an overview about the charity
work below if anyone is interested in reading more:

In 2011 we entered into a 5 year commitment to fund a series of annual building projects to renovate dangerously uninhabitable teacher’s accommodation in 10 rural schools in the Mityana district of Uganda. These buildings are currently inhabited by teachers who are posted with their young children, often far from their families and homes. They live in very difficult conditions, sometimes unable to even get into the schools to teach young children many of whom may have walked for up to 2 hours, on an empty tummy, to reach the school.

By working with local communities our projects can help them improve teacher’s security and quality of life which directly impacts the education and nourishment they can offer to young Ugandan children. By housing teachers in the school grounds the security of the school improves, teachers have the energy to educate the children and to develop market gardens to teach the children how to grow food and raise animals. These gardens in turn produce maize to feed the children with what may be their only meal of the day.

It is a privilege to be able to work in close proximity with the local communities within these schools. Each year, four of Clarify’s employees get the chance to visit and get involved in the project and to witness first-hand the impact this work is having on people’s lives.
