Some of our previous fundraisers

Here are just a handful stories of our previous fundraising events:

Victoria Simpson
Marathon Run

October 2020
Meet Victoria Simpson, a “Friend of Toowa” who in October 2020 raised £820 for the school by running 26.2 miles. She raised £620 from the marathon run and raised a further £200 from donations.

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.

Tony Smith
Cycle Tour

June 2019
Meet Tony Smith, a remarkable “Friend of Toowa” who in June 2019 raised £2200 for the school so that they can have a new and much needed kitchen. The tour involved cycling, unsupported, from Canterbury to Rome, a distance of 1150 miles!

Classroom build – update

March 26, 2021|

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
