Help Notre Dame High School to build a dormitory for the boys

Status: In progress
Step: 
1

We received a donation of funds that we used to complete a dormitory for the girls at Notre Dame High School.

We also need a dormitory for the boys, as they use the classrooms for sleeping.

We would like your ideas on where we can get funding to build the boys dormitory.

Building plans and a budget (in Ugandan Shillings) are attached.

Dear Roshan
Thank you very much for your contribution.
Its true people can contribute.
The land on which the school is located ,part of it was donated.
The first bricks that were used were made by guardians.
We have tried to do work here by help of parents/guardians.
The availabe pieace of land in now used as school garden and next to it is the erea we have sterted using for making bricks.
The children who study at the school come from low income families and some about 70 percent are orphans.
Some are heading families,living in what we call child parented homes.
We teach formal and Basic vocational subjects.
The children go to classes 6 days in a week.They cannot have time to do work
Most guardins to these children are too poor to afford to build a dormitory.
Also some of these children have to walk 2 0r 3 0r 4 miles to school.
We need to create a dormitory for them to sleep in order to put in place a better and conducive study environment for these needy ones.
