Christmas eve has become such a symbolic part of the Suubi journey, with many of our past building being started on this date - right from the original Suubi Community Centre, way back in 2008. With this in mind, we were excited to kick start the boys dormitory at Suubi Secondary School on December 24th; a perfect way to help us start celebrations for Suubi's 10th birthday! Head over to our Suubi SS blog to check it out.

Our pioneering Suubi SS Senior 4 students commenced their first national level examination today - 'O' level. All students have worked extremely hard throughout this year and we wish them all the best during the month long examination phase. We are enormously proud of them and know they will do their very best. Exams will be completed on November 13th and they will receive their results early in 2019. 

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!
