Wasimba and Hands of Hope School

During 2023/24 the Uganda team delivered a large holistic project which helped the community in Wasimba make changes to the health of the village and improve educational facilities. A borehole was provided for use by the school and the community. Handwashing training was carried out including how to build and use tip taps, a low tech innovative way of handwashing using the minimum amount of water.

A self-sustaining programme making Sanplats for latrines was established and many are already in use.

At the school latrines were provided, together with handwashing facilities and training, and a washroom for older girls to encourage attendance. Drinking water containers were provided for each classroom.

An evaluation will be carried out to assess improvements in the village and attendance at the school.
