For the 8th year in succession our Suubi Butonde Bwansi Sports Tournament was recently completed. It is fabulous to see it getting bigger and better, year after year! Check out lots of information, photos and video of this wonderful event that has become one of the highlights of year for communities surrounding Suubi Centre.

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!

The academic school holiday period at Suubi Secondary School has seen the place a hive of activity. The construction of the new classroom block is going ahead in leaps and bounds. It is wonderful to see the metalwork and woodwork students using their vocational classes to construct windows, doors, tables and chairs for the new structure, while the knitting and tailoring students have been busy making uniforms for the new 2018 students and learning how to make reusable pad. Check out all the details and lots of photos on the Suubi Secondary School Blog.
