Roof of the new building needed

March 26, 2025. Here we see Sister Prudence, Father Aloysius and some students in front of the classroom buildning that we helped to fund. The rainy season is beginning and Prudence writes that a roof would make her less worried for the structure. Iron roof sheets would cost some 3000 dollars,but they have raised 1000 dollars locally. She adds that she's vary happy that they are able to reach out to so many new children who start on their learning journeys, partly thanks to Skolsupport.

Nsiika storm: Skolsupport responds

February 24, 2025. Our donors showed compassion and € 1050 was given so that the staff at the Nsiika schools will be able to start rebuilding. We hope that the school children will be able to continue working towards their goals.

Hard rain and heavy winds

February 10, 2025. As we now have reached € 8,344 in collected funds, the news arrived of a quite significant setback in Nsiika. It would be nice if we could raise some money to put a new roof on the school.

Evaristus Batureine, the head of the school wrote: It was only on Friday night when it rained with a terrible wind and many houses and plantations were destroyed including our primary school. The roof on one side was taken away. We are working tooth and nail to manage the situation and protect the children.

Nyamirama reports on building of classrooms

January 10, 2025

Father Aloysius and Sister Prudence show how far the project has come. Partly thanks to the computers that we sent they now have many more students.

Meanwhile the other school in Nsiika have installed a water tank to reduce water-borne diseases around the outpost school called Mustard Seed.

Total amount collected € 7,344

December 13, 2024

The money has been sent to the two schools (50% to each) and both schools have used it for newbuildings: Nsiika for an orphanage (picture to the left) and Nyamirama for classrooms. The projects are well under way, but have not been finished. It is hoped that there will be more funding coming in. GoFundMe is still open...

GoFundMe campaign 2024

14 October, 2024

Contributions of 1800 euros were collected during the summer and sent to the two schools, 900 euros each. During the autumn another 600 came in to our account through GoFundMe and direct transfers.

Nyamirama is going to use the funds for three new classrooms. They are estimated to cost 30,000 dollars. They are needed since many more students came in as the school started to use the 100 computers that were donated from Åland. The need for more space in the dormitories is even more urgent because of this. Here's their website.

Nsiika is building an orphanage, at the Mustard Seed outpost school in the Kakoma Village, near Mbarara, the capital of the province (population 200,000) . The need for such a place is great, since there are many small children born and young parents are unable to support them. The aim is to support the children throughout their childhood. The buildning of the house is estimated at 6,000 dollars. It is hoped that the structure will be very strong so as to withstand rain and strong winds, unlike a wooden structure, that housed a school, that fell down last year. The building can be seen at the top of their website.
