Class room 1993
The children of Bunabutye, near Mbale in Uganda are mainly orphaned or living with extended families in very poor living conditions.
In October 1993, the school was a mud hut where the children sat on logs on the floor and used corrugated tin sheeting for a blackboard. The teachers were unqualified.
There was no drinking water in the village, and as a result of this, many died of cholera and dysentery from drinking the river water. The nearest fresh water pump was 7 miles away.
Today – 2011 – the situation for the children of Bunabutye, has changed dramatically. Thanks to numerous donations from people in Wales and the UK, the school is providing education for 360 pupils. In last year’s exams for entry to secondary school, the lowest pupil in our school did better then the best pupil in all the surrounding schools.
