The Kangulumira School in Uganda was one of the most dire situations TGUP has ever encountered. The 150-odd students attended classes in papyrus “classrooms.” There were no latrines, no running water. The one daily meal consisted of watery corn gruel.

The project built a quarter-mile access road, two large brick classrooms, a water well, latrines, metal-frame desks, and provided beans as a daily supplement to the corn gruel. The entire project cost $33,200. It was funded by 17 TGUP donors. It was carried out by TGUP’s Uganda partner, the Nsawo Community Development Project. 

The project is noteworthy for several things: 

  • The breadth of the overall project, encompassing five sub-projects
  • The magnitude of the improvement from “Before” to “After”
  • The speed of completion:  83 days from start to finish
  • Participation by 17 different donors, exemplifying the TGUP model

There were 17 donors who made this project possible. Many thousands of children’s lives will be changed as a result. That is the TGUP model. If we all do a little, no one person has to do too much. It works. Thank you for making the world a better place.
