Ughandi ‘B’ Water Project Muhuvi Primary School
Muhuvi Primary School caters for pupils from the age of seven to thirteen and covers Ughandi ‘B’ and its sub villages. It currently has 710 pupils and eight classrooms. In 2008 the project installed a hand pump only a short distance from the school and this has helped the pupils enormously as they have to carry water for use in the school daily. We hope to follow this up by providing the school with a hand cart and containers to cut down on time fetching water. In September 2009 a new pit latrine block was built from a donation via ‘Just a Drop’. Local NGO Hapa also gave child to child education on good hygiene.
In Tanzania primary education is free but uniforms; stationery and books have to be paid for. Numerous donations to our project have enabled us to supply the school with many of their needs. Teacher’s toilets were built from a donation in 2004 and in 2007 we purchased text books for both teachers and pupils. During our most recent visit 2009 we were able to supply them with a vast amount of stationery and uniforms for seventy pupils.
