Kifuyo Secondary School
Kifuyo Secondary School is located in the very poor Bugiri district. It is the only secondary school in the sub-county for 15 miles. Secondary education is vital and the 30 mile round trip deters many students from completing their education.
When we arrived at the school in early 2008 the only classroom for the 20 students was the temporary structure, some tarpaulin supported by wooden poles, as you see in the picture on the right. Thanks to funds raised by The Wibble Event in London in April 2008 we have been able to provide 2 classrooms, a water tank and a block of 8 latrines. The community helped by digging the pit and contributing some materials and then we completed the project. (See photos on right).
Completed projects have included:
-
Built a new 2 Classroom Block, with office and store room - 2008
-
Provided 30 new desks, book cupboard and text books - 2008
-
Attached a new 10,000 litre water tank - 2008
-
Built an 8 stanza latrine - 2008
The Head Teacher is working hard to promote the school. He has held meetings with all the head teachers of local primary schools, religious leaders, parents and potential students. We have every confidence that this project will be a success and, if enrolment increases and exam results improve, we plan to build 2 extra classrooms and 6 teachers’ houses to attract good quality teachers for the school later in 2009.
Head Teacher: Mr Martin Sikuko
Number of Students in March 2009: 75
