New beds
The children of the primary school sleep in bunk beds in houses that are built in residential circles. We have four residential circles, each consisting of five dormitories and a bathhouse. The primary school children sleep in the four residential circles under the supervision of matrons. In high school the pupils sleep in dormitories, also here under the supervision of matrons with the girls and patrons with the boys.
Current situation
Many of the existing bunk beds are already 20 years old and need replacement. The beds have been repaired several times, but the interior is broken, so that repair is no longer possible. The length of the old beds was still 1.80 meters at the time, but that is now too short for the older students. They are anxiously waiting for a bed in which they can stretch out and sleep well again.
What will be done?
Purchasing 100 new bunk beds.
Who and how many people will benefit directly?
The 200 orphans who can sleep in these 100 beds.
What will be the long-term effect on the target group after completion of the project?
A good night's sleep is very important for everyone. Especially for children who have so much to learn at school. Children who have slept well can concentrate better, which has effect on their learning performance, which has a direct effect on their future.
Cost
The beds cost UGX 320,000 each, which amounts to € 80. There are around 100 beds in need of replacement. Total costs € 8.000
