In the beginning of February the results were released and again all of the gramos-students passed well. We are very proud of them and wish them good luck and those who go on in secondary-school success.

During a visit there we went on with some improvements and constructions, like some more floors in the class-rooms, fixing a path between two buildings that always was dangerous after rain, new beds for the dormitories and for sure we made a tour so the children get out of their village and see something of their country.

With a bit of delay now the accountability for 2025.

We got a total of 5919.69€ from donations and selling stuff bought by people in Uganda.

Of this money we spent 2030.40€ for school-fees, 707.65€ for the tour, food, doctors or as direct money to the school for salaries and needed things. 69.33€ were payments to mothers producing bags and for 2692.56€ we let build a kitchen from stone as the old one, build of wood had a leaking roof and was in a very bad state.

New Schoolyear

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 13:45:00 +0000

A new schoolyear has started. During the last week of January the results of the exams taken last November were published. all students of gramos passed with very good grades. Unfortunately not all of them can continue school cause many paernts can't pay for a secondary school. Many even can't pay for the prmary school but thanks to all our donators the children could go to gramos school.

we go on there. This year we constructed completely new the kitchen. The old one needed every year urgent works and was nearly breaking down. Also the roof was leaking. Now there is a kitchen of stone and when we have enough money we will build a dormitory on top.

Of course we also made a tour with the students finishing school this year. Most of them took the oportunity to first time in their life make a trip with a boat.

Like every year we visited our 'family' in Uganda. Like always we were well received and could see the progresses and, for sure, participate in some more progresses.

Apart of the already mandatory tour for the p7 we paid for waterfilters for the gramos school and some seconary schools were a lot of former gramos students learn.

Aditionaly we installed lights with movement sensor at the latrins, made another floor of a class and some thinigs more.

There is still a lot to do, but little by little we proceed...

Another year has pased and a lot of things happened. The school got some doors and windows and, most important, the borehole was improved so now there is enough water for all the school.

Like every year we also made a trip with the students of the seventh year, this time to a museum concerning the beginning of christianisation in Uganda, an institution of agrarial research and to Mabira Forest, one of the biggest rainforests in Uganda.

Apart of the regular support for the gramos school we also enabled two girls and one boy the access to secondary school.

In total we spent 4886,03€ during 2023. Many thanks to all of the donators who helped the project going on even in times when life gets harder for everybody.

For sure there are already plans for the next year and we will try to keep everybody informed.

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 08:38:00 +0000

The results of the Exams hold in November 2022 are out and all of the gramos students passed well, two of them even in the highest range. Unfortunately not all of the parents can afford to pay the fees of a secondary school as those don't accept food as payment but we try to help as much as we can. but thanks to all the students for their hard work.

Balance 2022

Fri, 30 Dec 2022 10:05:00 +0000

Although the times are harder for many people, there was a lot of help from friends of gramos so we were able to go on with support and constructions. During a visit at the school we payed for the treatment of a nearly deaf girl so at least she did not lose all ability of hearing. There were also some constructions and a trip of the last class to show them a little bit the country outside their village, give some practical learning and an exciting day as reward for their hard learning. And for sure there was the monthly money we send to help the school going on. In addition there are fees for the secondary school of a girl who got a scholarship, her uniform and materials.

In total numbers we spent 3233.98€ and still have some money to go on soon with new constructions.

MANY THANKS TO ALL SUPPORTERS AND A LUCKY YEAR 2023

The Impact of the European war

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 15:13:00 +0000

Not only in Europe we feel the inflation, also in Uganda the prices are rising. Fuels are nearly twice as expensive as half a year ago and there is no governmental price fixing as in European countries. As a consequence the prices for public transport have also increased as did those for food and commodities.

It is very hard for the people and we are happy that the Gramos School is in a village and not in the city. Thanks to our help many parents pay school fees with food, so the children can go to school and they have to eat, something far from been granted in Uganda.
