The New Build
A Food For Thought School Building Project in Uganda

Click here for news about a visit by young people from Devon to northern Uganda during summer 2006 who helped to build a new school.

Background in brief:
In 2005 The New Build ran a very successful project in Uganda. A group of 40 British students and young professionals worked to raise funds to construct workshops and classrooms for a new Vocational Training Centre attached to Keyo primary school, Gulu, northern Uganda. They raised over £15,000 through fundraising and 14 young people travelled to Gulu in July 2005 in order to help with the building work.
