Each year, 2 billion people are exposed to contaminated water, leading to over half a million deaths. Children are particularly at risk. In Uganda, waterborne illnesses) cholera, dysentery, & typhoid) are mostly due to dirty water sources. This project will install Sensiblue filters in 16 schools to provide clean, potable water.

The project funds the production of liquid soap by secondary school students to support hygiene efforts in their community. After learning to make soap, soap-making was added to the chemistry lab curriculum. The soap is given to the local clinic & primary school. A $10 donation will supply 100-150 students with soap for 1 month.

Raised to date:

There are 344 students (184 girls & 160 boys) and only 4 teachers at Mbabe Community School. The existing pit latrines are full, so the children and staff have resorted to relieving themselves in the nearby field. This situation causes many students to skip school, especially girls. This project will build a new 4 stall latrine.

Guatemala

Raised to date:

San Luis Frontera has 244 students from preschool to grade 9. Meals were prepared outdoors using improvised stoves & students sat on the ground to eat. In 2024, the community started a 33’ x 46’ new building to include a kitchen, storeroom, & dining area, but ran out of funding. This will complete the work.

Raised to date:

Prabhat School has over 1,200 students, most coming from low- and middle-income groups. This project will convert the existing classroom into an area specifically designed for reading, playing, & audio-visual learning. It will be equipped with modern teaching-learning materials, child-friendly furniture, and interactive tools.

TGUP is in the process of fundraising to install new latrines for the 344 students and 4 teachers at Mbabe Community School. This project would connect the school up to the water main, 2.5km away, & provide a washing station for the latrines. Additional taps will be installed for both general school use as well as the community.

Raised to date:

Muyuka Secondary School enrollment has surpassed the classroom & furniture limits with 544 students, and 10 teachers in a few classrooms. Often, 5 students share one desk & many end up sitting on the floor. Pushing and shoving for a seat is common. This project funds 50 desks (each desk seats 2-3), 3 large tables, and 4 chairs.

Raised to date:

Koke Primary has 386 students and 7 teachers. The existing toilet facility that was constructed many years ago, is full, and has crumbling walls. Children have been restricted from using the toilet facility as it may collapse at any time. This project will build a new 4-stall latrine building for use by both students and staff.

Uganda

Raised to date:

There are 732 students and 11 teachers in only 8 classrooms at Naibowa Primary School. The kitchen makes the midday meal, which currently consists of a thin porridge made from maize flour. This project will build a new 6m x 6m kitchen with two vented cooking vessels, called jikos.

Cameroon

Raised to date:

The existing toilet facility is full, dark, dirty, and has crumbling walls. Children have been restricted from using the toilet facility as it may collapse at any time so they have no choice but to use the nearby bushes and streams as their toilet. This project will build a new 6-stall latrine for all 765 students and 12 staff.

Kenya

7867

Raised to date:

The existing girls' toilets are dilapidated, unsafe, & insufficient for the 508 girls & staff (boys latrines are in good shape). This negatively affects school attendance, hygiene, & learning outcomes. This project would fund a new 8-stall pit latrine building for the girls. Most of the families live on less than $1 per day.

Cameroon

Raised to date:

Shalom Primary School is in Bokova village in SW Cameroon. Bokova is a farming community with over 5,000 inhabitants with low income, high birth rates, & high illiteracy rates. Many students don't have any school supplies. This project will supply all 238 students with the school supplies they need to be successful in school.

Raised to date:

Kyatune Special Needs School has over 500 students, all special needs, and all boarders. The dorms are in need of refurbishing, but until those funds are available, the most immediate need is for waterproof mattress covers. The local sewing center that produces TGUP's Save a Girl™ kits will produce 150 mattress covers.

Kenya

Raised to date:

Kahiraini has 302 students (130 girls & 172 boys) with 16 teachers. This is a rare school that also includes children with special needs. The school is committed to providing inclusive education & nurturing young minds despite the inherent challenges and lack of funding. This project will provide what is needed to teach science.

Raised to date:

It is common to see students in class at St. Gloria with just a single exercise book, sharing a pencil, pen, eraser, or textbook. School supplies (exercise books, pens, pencils, rulers, erasers, etc.) for these 210 children will provide vastly improved learning capabilities, hope, & a lifeline to a future out of poverty.

Kenya

Raised to date:

This project will fund the start-up of two new products (waterproof underwear & mattress covers) that the Save a Girl™ sewing center will produce for sale. This effort will allow the sewing center to be productive & profitable even when not making SaG kits. This project will fund 300 diapers for special needs students.

Riamukurwe is a Government-run public Primary/Junior school with 570 students from first to 9th grade with 26 dedicated teachers. Despite having few science facilities, the school performs admirably. Most students come from families who depend on day-labor & live on one meal/day. This project will provide a TGUP Junior SLaB.

Raised to date:

Aguthi was established in 1967 and currently has 327 students (169 boys & 158 girls) including some with special needs. The school has adequate classroom space to teach science but did not have any funding for supplies. TGUP's Junior SLaB will address this need so the children will be prepared to move on to Secondary School.

Raised to date:

Honi started in 1988 as a nursery school and has since expanded to have 320 students. TGUP funded new latrines for this school in 2024. Since the new science curriculum was mandated, the school has struggled to teach any science due to the lack of equipment or supplies. This project will install a Junior Science Lab in a Box™.

Wendiga is an old school established in 1963 by 3 men who originally held classes in a horse stable. The parents chipped in to construct the classrooms, & today the school has grown to 9 classrooms, a kitchen, a library, & an administration block. They need to teach science so TGUP will fund the equipment for the 200 students.

Cameroon

Raised to date:

Muea Primary has 662 students & 6 teachers. TGUP recently built new latrines, classroom furniture, school supplies for the children, & put in drainage. Now, the school needs water.

Raised to date:

The Bomaka Primary School has 487 students and 10 teachers. In 2024, TGUP built new latrines for the school as the old ones had failed. This project will drill a 200-225' borehole, a filtration system, and a tower with a 5,000 liter tank to store the water. This will ensure the school has a continuous supply of potable water.

Raised to date:

More than 20 million girls drop out of school every year because they can't manage their period. It is probably the greatest preventable loss of human potential in the world. TGUP’s Save a Girl™ Project addresses this by providing kits of washable, reusable, sanitary supplies. Each kit is given free of charge to the girls.

30000

Raised to date:

TGUP has multiple schools in Uganda, Kenya, and Nepal hoping for a Science Lab in a Box™ installation. This allows the schools to teach and practice experiments in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. In 2025, we are hoping to fund 10 SLaBs. Each SLaB costs $3,000 and the school chooses from a long list of supplies and equipment.

Kenya

18000

Raised to date:

Due to recent changes in Kenyan academics, primary schools now include 7th and 8th grades & are required to teach science. The government is not assisting so TGUP's Junior Science Lab Program will provide the basic equipment needed to demo experiments. Each JSS costs $1,800. TGUP hopes to fund 10 schools in 2025.
