CURRENT PROJECT: WATER STORAGE TANKS
Can you help us raise £4,400 by July 2025 for 3 new water tanks?
If you would like contribute towards the purchase and installation of the 3 additional water tanks to maximise the collection of rainwater from the school roofs and increase the storage capacity to 50,000 litres, please visit the Giving page. This will secure year-round access to clean water in Fundo, even during the dry seasons. Thank you.
SOLAR PANELS
Until February 2023, Fundo Primary School had no electricity or source of power. Solar panels were installed on the roof of the school at that time (visible in the photo below). This is the first stage of supplying the school with a source of energy, with the plan to install more solar panels. Not only will this have a transformative impact on what can be done at Fundo School, but it will enable senior pupils to continue studying in the evenings in preparation for final exams and entry into secondary school. If you would like to give towards completing the purchase and installation of solar panels, we would be delighted. Thank you.
KITCHEN AREA
Providing a meal in school every day for every child has been a big focus or our fundraising over the last 6 months. It makes a huge difference to the quality of learning for the children if they have eaten properly at the start of the day, and it improves attendance rates. The children are each asked to bring a stick of firewood into school once-a-week as fuel for cooking the food, but until now there has been no kitchen area to prepare the food. This project is underway (as of Easter 2025) and we will update our socials once we have pictures of the completed project. If you can contribute to the cost which is just short of £2,000 (9 million Uganda Shillings), please donate and send us an email to let us know your donation is specifically for this project.
IMPROVING FACILITIES
A library room has recently been created through the construction of a dividing wall. Further improvements are required to address over-crowded classrooms, to develop the outdoor spaces for sports, and other designated areas for specific subjects.
A new classroom block for the P1 class (the youngest class, aged 5-6) is a priority with the yearly intake usually between 150-200 children. Having all these children in a single classroom and with one teacher creates a very challenging learning environment, and many children drop out or attend sporadically as a result. The Fundo Foundation is funding a new Teaching Assistant at the school in 2025 as a first step, and plans for this construction project are currently in progress.
