Thank you everyone so far who has contributed to this amazing project. Our fundraising goal now stretches throughout 2024 as we phase the building of the nursery school.

As part of our programmes to bring : QUALITY EDUCATION: Offering a pathway for children in developing communities to access quality education, enabling them to realise their full potential and prepare for self-sufficient adulthood within their societies, alongside BUILDING: Constructing infrastructure to provide both personal and professional assistance to our communities, thereby enhancing their overall quality of life.

Early 2024 will see the humble beginnings of planning to build a nursery school in Koc Lii. With around 300 family households and the nearest nursery school over 10km away, many children are unable to start with their education until old enough to walk each day to the nearest school, leaving a huge gap in early education. The community were already having thoughts about starting a nursery school under the mango tree. Working together with the community and leaders, mid 2023 we chatted about the possibility of building a nursery school that aligned with their needs.

Our victory was in securing the land for these potential young learners. As we step into 2024, we start with the practicalities of drilling of a bore hole to provide the school plus surrounding communities with fresh water plus clearing the land ready to break ground where the nursery school will be built.

Constructing a school here in Uganda is a multifaceted endeavour, guided by numerous regulations and standards, offering both challenges and excitement. But, Craig is no stranger to regulations. He’s been building here since 2011 with remarkable achievements. Lets go!
