***Solar Panels Added for Power and Lighting***

With the school campus growing quickly, the need for energy supply and better security was becoming a concerning issue. With specified donor funding, additional solar panels were installed that now generate enough power to operate two office laptops and a printer. The upgrade has also provided better lighting throughout the campus grounds at night - lighting that is especially appreciated by overnighting students and staff.  

   

***Protection from the Hot Ugandan Sun***

Thanks to recent generous donations, work will begin on the construction of a large multipurpose roofed, open-air building on the school grounds. This will provide shade relief for children at recess, optional classroom space, and other occasional large gatherings. Stay tuned for project pictures...  Update- Building up and awaiting cement floor!

 

 ***Three new water wells provide a stable water source for school community***

Providing daily water for the needs of our school community of over 400 people has been a serious problem. Water is used for cooking school meals, cleaning classrooms, drinking, bathing, and washing clothes around the school borders. The water is also used for irrigation and watering animals. During the region's severe seasonal drought periods when the distant natural spring water was absent, the only source had been retrieving water from riverbed puddles. 

   

The previous water supply came from spring water piped from a great distance. Many breaks would occur, and the people would be forced to get water from dry riverbed puddles. Thanks to generous donors, well drillers were hired to locate and construct 3 separate wells within the school property area. The people rejoice over this life-changing gift!

  

  

  

***Celebrating the ingenuity of our students***

7-year-old Musau Ronny creates balls from banana fibers and polythene bags. He then enjoys using them to play games with his friends. Your donations help children like Ronny receive an education and inspire creativity and entrepreneurship.

    

***Developing Teamwork Skills, Body Strength, and Agility***

Evidence suggests that physical activity and sports are instrumental in the overall healthy development of children. See how recent dedicated funds are making a difference. Check out those smiles on the U12 (under 12) boys soccer team wearing their first ever uniforms and shoes to represent King's Royals Sports Academy, the athletic branch of the school.

 

And here are the girls. They lost their first game due to the new sensation of playing soccer wearing shoes. They had never played soccer wearing shoes before!
