Carry a load for Kiyindi

Tarleton

Please support Tarleton Holy Trinity pupils sponsored walk ‘Carry a load for Kiyindi’

In 2023, class teacher Mrs Birkby (pictured below) travelled to Uganda with International Needs UK and taught in Makonge Primary School in Kiyindi.

Mrs Birkby

Kiyindi is a small fishing village on the banks of Lake Victoria, with many families living in poverty.  This school serves more than 1,000 pupils. The classrooms are dark, stifling and overcrowded. Our friends at International Needs Uganda have started the construction of a new classroom block and Tarleton Holy Trinity would like to support them, through a sponsored walk to be held on Friday 4 October 2024.

THT pupils will be sponsored to walk the school grounds carrying a bucket of water. Water collection in Uganda is often undertaken by children, often over long distances. By walking and ‘Carrying a Load’ we encourage THT pupils to reflect upon their own access to free education and running water.

We would like to raise around £300,
which equates to about 2 sq m
of new classroom at this school which
serves a rural area with limited
access to education.

The total raised so far is £1,260.
Thank you!

(as at 8 October 2024)


£300
will sponsor two square metres of the new classrooms being built.

£15 will sponsor one square FOOT, for those who prefer to work in imperial!
