Location:                        Okweta, Soroti - Uganda

Project leadtime:            6 months
                  
Requestor:                      James Alemu on behalf of Hands for Children

Description of the project:

New national guidelines, after Covid-19 pandemic, state that in dormitories the distance between the beds should be minimum 2 meters and decked beds are no longer allowed.
This implies a lack of space and beds in the Joy center.

Objectives:

Provide a safe shelter and education by constructing an additional dormitory, with 60 single beds, in the Joy Children center in Okweta.

Beneficiaries:

The children and youngsters currently staying in the Joy Children center as well as new ones.

Budget:

Needed budget is 84.679.800 Uganda Shillings, i.e. 20.200 €

Risks:

Lack of maintenance of the facilities: we’ll make sure all repairs and maintenance are done when relevant, which has been proven on the current facilities.
