Project - Overhead Water Storage Tank - St. Jude Primary School, Kakooge, Luweero, Uganda

In November 2012 the Fund approved a sum of €5,000 for the provision of a Water Tank for St. Jude Primary School and the local community at Kakooge, Luweero, Uganda.

The school is a new bush school opened up to cater for the educational needs of rural children and to promote development in this economically distressed area. Most of the children fall between the ages of 6 and 14 years.

the area is still recovering from the effects of the civil war which lasted for six years in the early eighties leaving many people dead, thousands displaced, property and schools destroyed.

The school is meant to be a centre to meet people's needs in education, reconciliation, mobilisation and development programs. The population is mostly peasantry and were unable to raise the funds for the purchase and installation of the water tank.

The project was implemented during 2013 and a completion report received by the Fund.
