Busuuli Primary School
Busuuli is typical of many rural schools. The government built four good classrooms and the community were left to build the three additional classrooms needed to accommodate the schools 7 classes. Local poverty meant that this had to be a wood and mud structure which by 2008 was falling to pieces. Termites had eroded the wooden post and chunks of the mud walls were missing. (See photos to right).
Thanks to a donation by The Ultimate Travel Company we have now taken down the old wood and mud classroom and built a new three classroom block. (See photo to right.) The local community donated 25,000 bricks and agreed to provide our team of builders with lunch every day.
Completed Projects have included:
- Built a new 3 Classroom Block December 2008
- Attached a 10,000 litre water tank December 2008
We are indebted to The Ultimate Travel Company (www.ultimatetravelcompany.co.uk) for their generous sponsorship of this project. We also congratulate the local community for their excellent cooperation which ensured the project was completed in only 10 weeks by early December 2008. As a result of the new classrooms the pupil enrolment has increased by 120 in just one year. Again this school would benefit from the construction of Teachers’ Houses as the majority of Teachers walk to and from the school, wasting valuable teaching time.

Number of Pupils in March 2009: 700
