St Kizito Primary School, Namungoona
This is our next school project!
St.
Kizito Primary School in Namungoona is located just outside of the
capital city, Kampala. The school's enrollment is currently at
approximately 150 students in grades Nursery through Primary Level 7.
The school stands made of scrap wood with rusty tin sheet roofs.
Rain
enters the classrooms, disturbing the students' studies. The child
ren
sit in classrooms of dirt floors without desks and with minimal
materials. These conditions make learning difficult, challenging the
students and teachers each day. For twelve years, the school has pushed
forward in these conditions, determined to see their students
persevere.
The priest and the headmistress at this new location are both familiar with BULA's work in Gganda and are ecstatic about the prospects of the new school.
The new school is currently being designed by Tom Harrison and a
team of architectural students
at London Metropolitan University. They surveyed the school site in
2009 and 2010. 
The design is being heavily researched with the intent to use earth
friendly and afforadable practices. The innovative methods are
currently being piloted in Uganda.
In the end, the plans will optimize the school to its surroundings
making the
most of lighting, climatic conditions and cultural preferences.
