Kyehimba was the first of our two schools. Dirt floors made life difficult for the children - insects could crawl up through the dirt, biting the children's feet and causing illness. Wooden sided classrooms were the order of the day. No proper facilities were available. One of the first teams to go there from the UK started to help out by making bricks, getting to know the staff at the school, and beginning to build relationships with both staff and pupils. Over the years since 2009 many changes have been wrought. Concrete floors, a washroom block, a dormitory for those children who live far from the school, mattresses, proper beds, mosquito nets for over the beds, water storage and purifier, a meal each day, better buildings, to name just a few. The children have become happier, more confident, and those who take the entrance exams for the secondary school regularly pass with really good standards! Land has been bought near the school, enabling entrepreneurial skills to be seen - pigs, bananas, cabbages have all begun to appear on the land. This gives the children new learning opportunities as well as providing food for the pupils and some to be sold to fund the school. The excellent staff now receive better wages, giving security.
