Dear Donor,
The recent Ebola outbreak confirmed in Uganda, coupled with the persistent risk within neighboring communities, has created an urgent public health challenge. As our children prepare to begin their second school term, we recognize that schools are not just centers of learning—they can become epicenters of viral transmission if left unprotected. At Mwanyagiri Primary School, where a large portion of our community’s children study daily, the absence of basic infection prevention tools puts every child, teacher, and family at risk.
We are committed to immediate, on-the-ground action. Our plan is to equip Mwanyagiri Primary School with essential protective resources: hand washing stations, virus-effective detergents (such as chlorine-based solutions and alcohol-based hand sanitizers), and durable water tanks to ensure a consistent supply of clean water for proper hygiene. These three elements form a proven barrier against Ebola transmission through physical contact and contaminated surfaces.
Your generosity can make this plan a reality. With your support, we will install multiple hand washing points at all school entrances, classroom clusters, and latrine areas. We will train teachers and student health monitors on proper hand hygiene and detergent use. The water tanks will guarantee that hand washing does not stop when piped water runs low—a common challenge in our setting.
We are seeking funding to cover procurement of 500-liter water tanks, a three-month supply of detergents, and hand washing stands. Every contribution, large or small, directly translates into a safer desk, a cleaner hand, and a life protected.
By donating today, you are not simply buying supplies. You are safeguarding a generation of learners, enabling them to return to school without fear, and protecting their families and wider community from secondary spread. We are happy to provide receipts, progress photos, and a full expenditure report upon project completion.
Please stand with us. Help us turn Mwanyagiri Primary School into a model of Ebola-safe learning.
With gratitude and resolve,
F SSIBU MISSION FOUNDATION-UGANDA
