As part of the 8 project renovation of the Kiahuko Primary School, a new 30'x15' kitchen will be built. This will provide space for cooking, a storage room for food, gutters on the building, two new cooking vats (called jikos), and a new 5,000-liter water tank. The school cannot currently safely cook in the existing kitchen for the 487 students and staff. We have secured a $2,000 matching grant for this project.

More than 20 million adolescent girls drop out of school every year because they cannot manage their period. It is probably the greatest preventable loss of human potential in the world.
TGUP’s Save a Girl Project addresses this problem by providing girls with washable, reusable, cloth sanitary pads. A Save a Girl “kit” costs about $6 to make, but they are given free of charge to the girls.

The Sheridan Elementary School is located in a rural area outside of Sacramento, California. The school has a high percentage of students for whom English is a second language and the entire school receives federally-funded lunches. TGUP will help fund the library with new books and resources since the school does not receive any funding at all for the library.

$300 will purchase and install a 3,000 liter water tank and roof catchment system in a drought striken area in Meru, Kenya. For every 3rd tank funded, the community contributes a 4th. For this project, TGUP will fund 7 tanks and 9 will be installed. This will allow the community to capture rainwater from rooftops and store water brought with donkeys from a nearby river.

There are 34 teachers, 650 students and 12 staff at Amar Kanti in Nepal. Since its founding 27 years ago, the school management has been enhancing and upgrading for the benefit of quality education but the students cannot compete for university entrance because they can't get the practical experience needed for Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. To solve this problem, TGUP's SLaB will supply the lab with everything needed so the students will be well prepared to continue their education.

This project will fund 30 smoke-reducing stoves to be installed into Maasai homes. The stoves are connected to a chimney to expel the smoke. Typically, Maasai women cook with an open fire in the middle of a very small, unventilated hut made of sticks and mud. This is not only dangerous but extremely unhealthy. 25 children per 1,000 die before the age of 5 from lung problems due to inhaling the smoke from the open fires. Many are also burned. The stoves are installed by Maasai women. For most, this is the first paying job they've ever had.

Shree Saraswati Secondary School in Bagmati Province dates back over six decades. The school has 562 students in 12 grades supported by 22 staff. This project will fund a deep bore hole, which will pump ground water through a water filtration system.
