Carry a load for Kiyindi
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.
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 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.
£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!
