The Good Samaritan High School in Kyanukuzi, Uganda, has 305 students. They had a science lab but it needed new, locking cabinets for safe storage of supplies. After the cabinets were installed they were ready to receive TGUP's Science Lab in a Box. This will allow the students to gain the knowledge to continue to universities.

Over 1.5 billion people suffer from soil transmitted diseases worldwide. Without shoes, children are especially vulnerable to diseases and parasites that can cause illness and even death. These 'shoes that grow' keep children healthy and allow them to stay in school. This funded 100 pairs of shoes for school children in Uganda.

Many children in Uganda have never had any of their own hygiene supplies and end up sharing toothbrushes, etc. This provided 150 hygiene kits that were given to a school child in Uganda. Each kit contains a toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, nail clippers, soap, wash cloth, and tube of vaseline. All the items are contained in a mesh carrying bag.

An access road to the new Kangulumira school site had to be created. This involved clearing trees and bushes, laying murram (rock) and then compacting the road. The access road is approximately 300 feet long off the main road. The local community contributed labor so the total cost was only $665.

TGUP is replacing the boys' latrines for the 186 boys (the ones for the girls have already been replaced). This separate project is providing 10,000 liters of water for the construction of the latrines as well as for use by the school. The students were having to fetch water 3km away which interrupted their class time.
