July 2022

Need: Complete the Nursery School Building and related structures

Location: Kamuli District, Uganda, Sonrise Children’s Home compound

One of the reasons we established the Sonrise Children’s Home and School in this remote group of villages was to affect change among the most needy people. We opened our Nursery and Primary classes in 2018 but it soon became a great need to establish a separate nursery school because of the great number of younger children.

We broke ground in 2019 on a new Nursery School building. It consists if classrooms and offices. The concrete floor and brick walls were constructed expending all available funds. In 2021 the roof, windows and doors are being constructed. This leaves flooring, fencing, latrines, furniture, curriculum, playground, uniforms and lightning protection to become a usable facility.

Proposal:

 - $15,000, complete the flooring and plumbing. (NEED MET)

 - $10,900, fence the property

 - $6,000, playground equipment

 - $6,000, separate latrines for the teachers and students

 - $3,000, school uniforms (government requirement)

 - $12,000, furniture

 - $5,500, school curriculum

 - $3,000, lightning protection system (government requirement)

Benefits:

1. Provide early childhood education for villagers and Sonrise children.

2. Meet governmental requirement to separate nursery age children from primary and secondary age children.

Budget: $61,400
