Primary education in Uganda is mainly spread across the public sector and the private sector. A number of families in rural and peri-urban communities have no access to the public primary schools that offer affordable tuition packages. These families are served by the private primary schools which offer low cost and low tuition services that are affordable for the low-income families. However, a number of these schools lack proper non-teaching facilities due to limited access to capital.
Mia’Sarka has partnered with two low-income primary schools to help build capacity by supporting the construction and rehabilitation of non-teaching facilities with a goal to improve on the learning environment and general welfare of the schools.
In 2023, Mia’Sarka supported the installation of a water purification and water dispensation system for Dominic Elementary School – Wakiso District. The classroom block was rehabilitated and partitioned in order to increase the sitting capacity of the classrooms. A vegetable garden was set up in order to create an onsite source of vegetables to supplement to school’s lunch diet.
Mia’Sarka partnered with KCCS Model Primary in 2024 to help the school increase on its rain water storage capacity by installing two additional rain water tanks. The schools existing classroom buildings were renovated in order to improve on the classroom environment. A new toilet block and dining hall are being constructed in order to improve on the school sanitation regime and dining infrastructure.
