At the end of 2018 one of the girls of Alakara Home said she felt we should build a high school for girls in Moroto. This was a big vision for small Project Moroto. A couple of weeks later the local MP came and asked us if we wanted land as they loved what Project Moroto was doing in the region and wanted us to do more. We ended up with secure title and ownership of 50 acres of beautiful land in a village 7km out of Moroto called Musas. There is really only one other high school for girls in our region of over 1.5million people. More and more children are wanting to go to school and now schools are overflowing.
Due to generous donors we began building our boarding high school for girls in September 2022 and currently (December 2024) we have 16 big buildings up to roofing level. We have 2 solar bores, concrete power poles throughout our site, 1000 trees planted in our woodlot and 200 fruit trees. We hope to complete the school and open in Feb 2026. To do so we are seeking final funding of approx. NZ$800,000 – NZ$1,000,000. This will complete plastering, flooring, final electrical and plumbing installations, roading, paving, landscaping and fit out of buildings.
Project Moroto wants to build a different school with shorter school hours and smaller classes – a place where all girls can have the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and beautiful place. ASPIRING SCHOOL FOR GIRLS will offer this opportunity. We will build a beautiful school for the most marginalized region in Uganda making a statement that the Karamajong people are worthy of something beautiful.
If you are interested to help us complete this build whether financially or practically please get in touch. We would love your help
