Of the 676 students at Balita Primary, there are 31 who live in the dorm, and 13 are blind. Many disabled or blind children are abandoned by their family so have no other place to sleep.

Raised to date:

Shree Krishna School has close to 500 students from kindergarten to high school. There are unsufficient toilets so the girls have to go 5 floors down to use the older girls' toilets, or even change buildings, particularly inconvenient during monsoon. This project will fund two new toilets on the upper floor of the building.

Madagascar

Raised to date:

The school (584 students aged 4-16 years) currently lacks recreational spaces, limiting children's opportunities for physical, emotional, and social development.

Raised to date:

This Permaculture Initiative educates families on basic nutrition & teaches them skills to grow vegetables in a garden inside their boma “fences” (thorn bushes, tree branches, & other vegetation to keep out lions, hyenas, jackals, and other predators). This funds a water catchment system & 5,000-liter tank for the demo garden.

Raised to date:

Emmanual English Boarding School was established in 1997 and has 332 students (162 girls & 170 boys) with 32 teachers. The existing science lab has insufficient equipments for the student to do any practical experiments. This project will provide everything they need for Biology, Physics, & Chemistry as well as a sink and table.

Raised to date:

This project will repair the electrical system throughout the school's 6 school classrooms, 1 office space, 1 storage room and 1 bathroom facility. Currently, most of the lights and sockets do not work. New cables will be installed, where needed, and repairs done to ensure electricity is available everywhere in the school.

Raised to date:

The present latrine pit is full so children end up going to nearby farms and streams. This negatively affects hygiene, sanitation, and teaching. The environment smells and is polluted as students defecate around the school campus. This project will build a new 4 stall latrine for the 544 students and 10 staff.

Raised to date:

More than 20 million girls drop out of school every year because they can't manage their period. It is probably the greatest preventable loss of human potential in the world. TGUP’s Save a Girl Project addresses this by providing kits of washable, reusable, sanitary supplies. Each kit is given free of charge to the girls.

Raised to date:

The restroom facilities for the 232 students & 9 teachers at Santa Clara Primary needs new hardware & toilets, a fresh coat of paint, and complete plumbing renovation. The local community tried to raise funds for the repairs but were unsuccessful. The poor condition of the toilets affects morale of the students and teachers.

Cameroon

2018

Raised to date:

At Amazing Grace Primary, the enrollment of 244 has gone beyond the available number of tables & chairs. The inadequate furniture causes many of the younger children to stay home as there is fighting & scrambling for a place to sit. This project will fund 30 desks (with benches attached), 2 tables, & 4 chairs for the teachers.

Nicaragua

1577

Raised to date:

This project will repair and replace over 150 desks (with bench seats attached), tables, chairs and book cases. Many are still reparable so they will not have to be replaced but can be refurbished. The school's 232 students often have to sit on the floor or share desks.

Multiple Countries

Raised to date:

TGUP has multiple schools in Uganda, Kenya, and Nepal hoping for a Science Lab in a Box installation. This will allow 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.

Uganda

Raised to date:

Without shoes, children are especially vulnerable to diseases and parasites. These 'Shoes that Grow' can expand through 5 sizes and keep children healthy, allow them to go to school, and only cost $25 per pair. Most of the children at Nkono Primary do not have shoes so this project will fund 300 pairs of shoes.

Cameroon

7841

Raised to date:

The Bomaka Primary School has 487 students and 10 teachers. In 2024, TGUP built new latrines for the school as the old ones had failed. This project will drill a 200-225' borehole, a filtration system, and a tower with a 5,000 liter tank to store the water. This will ensure the school has a continuous supply of potable water.

Cameroon

27052

Raised to date:

The Dibanda Primary School has 362 students in just four classrooms which are split into two so different grades can be taught in the same room. The existing rooms are falling apart with holes in the walls and roof. Ideally, two new classrooms are built but depending on funding, one can be done for $16,162 or two for $27,052.

Multiple Countries

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.
