Mukibugu primary School



This is the school that our pen-pal project was set up with. It is a school very near to the borders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The children even speak some Japanese due to Eden Quayle teaching there in 2008-2009. Rainbow hopes to support this school in the future.

The recent history of Mukibugu School

Mukibugu Primary School has 650 pupils in a very cramped compound. It had no modern brick classrooms until 2002. This picture shows one of the old classrooms which has since been demolished because it was unsafe.



This is the village church. In 2002 the church was the only proper building in the village. It doubled up as the school classroom.



The latrines were improved by our sister charity ACE.



ACE our sister charity has recently paid for a partition to be built to create 2 classrooms from one. This has enabled a class of 260 to be split into two. We've also paid for extra guttering to enable more rainwater to reach the storage tank.

In 2007 ACE built a new double classroom, 7 small cupboards, 40 desks, teachers' tables, and chairs.

School has little land and the only available site needed levelling and the breaking up and removal of large boulders in order to build the new classrooms.

In the autumn of 2007 ACE finished the task of building the new classrooms.
