Supporting the education of pastoralists’ children

Two small projects to support the education of pastoralists’ children were delivered in Uganda. The first was funded by the Brentwood United Reformed Church (BURC) in the UK for the purchase of benches and blackboards and the construction of a latrine at Kijumba Bright Future Nursery and Primary School, Kijumba Parish, Nakaseke District and the second project was supported by the Rotary Club of Berkhamsted Bulbourne (RCBB) for the purchase of benches and chairs at Rwamuranda Primary School, in Rwamuranda Parish, Kanyaryeru Sub County, Kiruhura district of the south-western part of Uganda’s cattle corridor.

Both projects were delivered just before the coronavirus lockdown in Uganda. Formal delivery ceremonies weren’t possible due to the pandemic. Our thanks go to all who supported the projects, to the Coalition of Pastoralist Civil Society Organisations (COPACSO) as the implementing partner, and to PENHA Focal Person in Uganda, Elizabeth Katushabe, for overseeing the delivery of these projects.
