The school has 444 students & relies on temporary pit latrines built after the original latrines collapsed. This makeshift structure is built with weak materials, & no doors, providing little privacy, & is unsafe for both pupils & teachers. This project will build a new 4-stall latrine building with water for washing.

Raised to date:

Ngab is a farming community where 98% are peasant farmers earning less than $2/day, well below the UN poverty line. Illiteracy & birth rates in Ngab & surrounding villages are high, leaving young girls particularly vulnerable. This project funds the school supplies that families cannot afford so their children can go to school.

Raised to date:

Sidonge has 310 students, including 160 girls. The recent collapse of the girls' toilet block has left female students having to share a toilet facility with boys, compromising their dignity, privacy, safety, & ability to manage menstruation effectively. This project will build a new 4-stall latrine building just for girls.

$100 funds a smoke-reducing chimney-vented stove for a Maasai family. The stoves are installed by women, their first paying job ever, & remove 95% of the dangerous smoke from cooking over an open flame. Many children suffer from the smoke from the open flames – some are burned, some have chronic lung problems, and some die.

TGUP has multiple schools in Uganda, Kenya, and Nepal hoping for a Science Lab in a Box™ installation. This allows the schools to teach and practice experiments in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. In 2025, we are hoping to fund 10 SLaBs. Each SLaB costs $3,000 and the school chooses from a long list of supplies and equipment.

Kenya

Raised to date:

Due to recent changes in Kenyan academics, primary schools now include 7th and 8th grades & are required to teach science. The government is not assisting so TGUP's Junior Science Lab Program will provide the basic equipment needed to demo experiments. Each JSS costs $1,800. TGUP hopes to fund 10 schools in 2025.
