Milestones
Completed Projects:
To date HOPE Uganda has raised over $30,000.
This money has been used for the following:
Teachers housing (shelter for S5) – The house is currently being used to house 36 girls from the senior five class due to lack of facilities.
10 person pit latrine (toilet pits) – Many thanks to the Hancock Family who provided full funding ($3,000) to complete this project.
2 Classrooms – of a 3 storey 12 classroom Block.
General donations – HOPE Uganda has also donated enough mosquito nets for classes Senior 1 to Senior 4, Book shelves, furniture for the science lab and computer lab, over 30 digital cameras, over 80 usb sticks, 4 usb modems, over 200 math sets, 14 scientific calculators and over 30 essential text books.
Current Projects:
Shelter for senior 6 girls – the cost of this shelter is $26,000 (though prices may vary due to inflation) we have currently raised over $9,000 for this project so far.
Permanent dining hall - the temporary dining hall currently in use has been severely damaged due to extreme weather and termites so we are building a permanent dining structure made from bricks which is estimated to cost over $3,000.
Three storey dormitory – This is our biggest project yet and we are only just starting on it. The estimated cost so far is roughly $400,000. Note this estimate is subject to change and we are still working to provide a final figure.
Smaller Needs:
$10 will buy a mosquito net.
$50 will buy a desk and chair combination.
$50 will buy a USB Modem for the computer lab.
$15 will buy a month’s worth of Internet data.
$11 will buy a notebooks and pens combination for each student.
$20 will buy a stool.
We stress that each purchase is made within their local economy, so effectively each purchase you make is helping their local economy to grow!
