New Build Project

Since 2005 groups of British and Ugandan volunteers have been working with schools and local craftsmen to provide new school buildings

The New Build Project Report 2005 gives more information.

In the following years, New Build worked in Mubende schools.

In 2006, at Maaya Primary School as described in New Build Plan 2006.

In 2007, Tom Errington left his civil engineering job in Reading for 5 months and worked with the New Build Team building Kakenzi Primary School. This beautiful school is the pride of the District and a thriving local community has developed round it. Tom’s individualistic report is here!

2008 saw New Build working in Kanowa and Kasaana Primary Schools as described in New Build Report 2008.

In 2009 New Build targetted clean water and sanitation in rural primary schools in Uganda. New Build Report 2009.

Funding from Happold Trust over a few years, enabled a Skills Transfer Programme to be developed benefitting young building apprentices in Mubende and engineering students at Exeter University. Skills Transfer Scheme 2009-10

2011 targetted a very remote primary school in Mubende called Kanyagoga. This work will be finished in 2014. New Build 2011 describes the project.

After 8 years of school building work, New Build is ending. The team always believed they were building for 50 to 100 years and we trust the buildings will meet that expectation and benefit many pupils.
