Lasallian Developing World Projects is a registered charity working to assist local communities in poorer parts of the world to improve their educational facilities. Raising money to sponsor young people from Britain to work with local people to build classrooms or workshops and be involved in the life of the local community.

The project that I am involved in this year is based in a small rural village in Kagadi, called Mugalike in Western Uganda. LDWP have worked in this village in previous years. The village is mostly populated by small farmers who find it difficult to make ends meet. The project is aimed at funding, and aiding the building of a boy’s hostel. It will also involve tutoring and teaching English to the boys. The building of the boy's hostel means school is more accessible for many that live too far away from school to commute each day.
