A New Dormitory For The Boys At Suubi Secondary School

Since completing our new classroom block, earlier this year, the boys who are boarding at Suubi Secondary School have been housed in one of the new classrooms. While this has been a stop gap measure throughout this year it is certainly not the conditions we want our boys to live in long term; so we have been busy raising money to commence building our boys a much needed purpose built dormitory.

With 75% of the required amount now raised we are aiming to start turning soil on Christmas Eve. With this in mind, we have set up a gofundme page - we would love you to help make the new boys dorm a reality, so please head over now to make a donation. This will be a wonderful way to help celebrate our 10 year anniversary!

Not only will you be helping to fund the materials that enable us to move the boys out of the classroom they are currently living in (L) you will also be contributing to them practising and gaining new skills to build window, doors and bunks to finish off their new home; this something that they will have with them for the rest of their lives.

Library & Classroom Block Completed

We were thrilled to see the latest classroom block at Suubi Secondary School completed during 2018. Students and teachers are now happily using the library, science and computer laboratories. With the gas from the biogas pit latrines connected to the new science room, students are now able to carry out practical experiments, instead of merely learning from text books, as has been the case to date. How exciting!

Enjoy a tour around the new classroom block .........

What an impressive sight!

Since filming this video we have had a wonderful response from our supporters and we are happy to let everyone know that the remaining classroom furniture has now also been completed. What a wonderful outcome - the classrooms have all the furniture required for them to be fully utilised AND our students have learned valuable skills that they will have for life!

A huge thank you to 'everyone' who helped us make the new classroom block a reality.

Sept 6th, Sept 6th, Vocational Studies In Full Flight Over School Holiday Period

The second term academic school holidays began across Uganda on August 25th and will run through to September 16th. Suubi Secondary School students are happy to have a change from the normal academic classes, as it gives them the opportunity to focus solely on their vocational studies. The fact that many of them are using their bricklaying, metalwork or woodwork skills to build furniture and fixtures for the new classroom block makes the students feel very proud. They are producing much needed items that will be part of the school for years to come. Check out all their great work on the Suubi SS Blog.

Aug 28th HUG 2018 Annual Meeting

The 2018 HUG Annual General Meeting was held on August 28th where the annual report, including financial statements, was presented. The report gives everyone an insight in to all the wonderful achievements in Uganda over the past 12 months, including the competition of the library, science & computer laboratories and 2 additional classrooms at Suubi Secondary School. Our wonderful Smiling HeARTs project also took another leap forward by securing a house in Masaka Town where vocational studies will be taught to disabled youth.

Our huge thanks goes to our amazing board members, Tony Hetherington, Pauline Corcoran, Justin Sullivan, Loretta Lilford, Aaron Luxmoore, Beth Lilford and Helen Brown who have committed to another year on the board. This team has worked tirelessly to date and look forward to inspiring an even wider community of HUGgers to help us to continue to make a positive difference in Uganda.

May 28th, Reuseable Pads Made By Suubi SS Tailoring Students

The recent academic holiday period at Suubi Secondary School saw our tailoring students given the opportunity to participate in a wonderful initiative; making reusable pads. Through studies carried out in Uganda it has been found female students miss up to eight days of study, each school term, because they are having their periods. This translates into 11% of the total learning days in a year. This valuable time missed in class is hard for the girls to make up and may account for why girls are dropping out of high school. With this in mind we are thrilled to see our reusable pad initiative expanding. This is sure to make the challenge of the girls monthly cycle far easier to cope with and lessen the number of absent days. Read more about this fabulous initiative!
