The 4 schools are located in the Otuke district in northern Uganda, a rural region severely affected by financial poverty. The project reaches around 4,493 students and includes the construction of classrooms, offices, new latrines, handwashing facilities and the rehabilitation of wells, adapted to the needs of each school. In addition, an menstrual hygiene building will be built at every school. Workshops on Water/Sanitation/Hygiene, menstrual hygiene and mental health will also take place.
The educational infrastructure has shown serious deficiencies since the conflict conflict between the Lord Resistance Alliance and the Ugandan government. The 4 schools struggle with insufficient furniture, limited resources, sanitary facilities in a dilapidated state, and overcrowded classrooms, which means that some lessons have to take place outside. The poor sanitary situation causes young girls to miss school because they have no "safe space" during their menstruation.
As part of the project, various measures will be taken to improve the infrastructure, quality of education and hygiene situation. More specifically, this involves the construction of 3 new school buildings with a total of 12 new classrooms. These are to be equipped with 336 benches and 16 tables for the students. An important part of the project is also the construction of Menstrual Hygiene Buildings at each school. These buildings function as changing rooms and rest rooms for girls.
The aim of the project is to ensure that the students of the Amele, Alangi, Oderokech and Amoni schools have a safe and appropriate school infrastructure, and that all students, especially girls, can learn there in a high-quality educational environment.
