Updates From Our Founder
GREEN HILL PRIMARY SCHOOL FIRST SEMESTER UPDATES
We had a fairly great First semester 2024 with a good number of development projects of which some are still ongoing. And we were able to teach over 850 students without major health challenges.
Notably, we continued to perform well in National Exams and we produced the best and second-best students in Kaliro District.
We were blessed to continue with our Stem Classroom. Its however work in progress, we are still dreaming for more classrooms. Our Aim is to have at least 2 streams per class to reduce congestion in classrooms. Some of our classrooms remain at over 100 plus students.
With support from SHU’s Humanitarian Relief organization, we were able to continue constructing our very first boy’s dormitory (It’s on window levels now). Our boys are currently sleeping in a classroom.
We were able to get our official and final Ministry of Education registration certificate of our school after over six years of trying it after getting a license to operate as a community private school.
In our bid to organize and motivate our staff, we acquired school T-shirts for uniformity amongst our teachers most especially during school functions and these were bought by Shu’s Humanitarian Relief Organization for us.
With help from Empower Education World and their families, we were able to purchase four acres of land for our High School Project. We hope to start educating high school students next year 2025.
Further, we added some students on the sponsorship list and we appreciate individuals who have picked interests in supporting children to attain much needed education.
However, this is always our most hard semester of each calendar year being a famine season (No food in our communities). It’s always when we are from a dry season which makes us struggle to find food plus teachers’ salaries. Fortunately, due to the reliable rains received last year, our communities had food.
Over 99% of our parents are local farmers and depend on agriculture for food and financial incomes. This simply means that our parents have nothing to sell to raise money for fees during famine/food scarcity times. Therefore, we hope the following semester has food as well.
We were also faced with some challenges like a few boarding beds, teacher’s salaries, food for teachers and students among others.
We also have future major projects like
1. High School Classrooms Construction.
2. Teacher’s Accommodation Project.
3. Farming Land Projects.
4. Sanitary project (Energy saving stoves, Toilets, Store and Bathrooms/Showers).
Thank You for your continued support.
