Here are just a handful stories of our previous fundraising events:
Toowa Team
Virtual Kiltwalk 2021
April 2021
To raise funds for the school and the classroom rebuild project, a few members of “Friends of Toowa” team took part in Scotland’s Virtual Kiltwalk 2021. As this was a virtual event we decided to be the first to do the walk in 3 countries at the same time. Scotland, England and Uganda!. Kathleen sent some Kilts and “See you Jimmy” hats to Uganda for Elijah and Mike.

Build update – walls have started
These new l classrooms are going to be first standard classrooms at Toowa school . They are going to be 25 feet long and 20 feet wide… The whole building block is 100 feet long and 25 feet wide . Each classroom will be able to accommodate about 50 pupils
Classroom build – update
Foundations dug, materials delivered and work on the build is flying along. Update from Elijah Amazing work going on here… Many of the people on the village are very happy as we are buying materials from them. Others are directly employed as builders and porters at the building site. I have so far bought 8,000 bricks, 60 bags of cement, 10 trips and sand (both lake and swamp sand) and more bricks are being brought at the site I am now buying enough materials to be around at the building site as this is a rainy season and it may be difficult to bring materials later on when it rains
