Kikukwe Dispensary was particularly badly hit by the earthquake in Kagera Region. Our previous report outlined the initial response by TDT to repair the badly cracked dispensary buildings, replace the water tank stand and re-build staff accommodation after village houses were destroyed.
The following message has just been received from Frederick, Kikukwe community officer.
To all at TDT: Greetings from Kikukwe. For the dispensary building the Council engineer approved our masonry repairs and by now we have painted the whole building in including windows, doors and floor. For the water stand our designs have also been approved the district council further provide us alternative designs for us to have a wide selection. Construction will start soon as the heavy rain period is near its end. The council engineer has provided us the new designs for the two in one staff house, We are in planning process of mobilising materials and selection of the masonry.
The Kikukwe community express again their heartfelt thanks to all our generous donors.
Nayailigamba Secondary School, an extremely well run and successful school, whilst experiencing minor cracking damage was placed under great pressure in accepting additional students from badly damaged schools nearby. TDT, with the generous support of Global Giving donors, has been able to provide additional resources including a secure bottled gas supply for the larger numbers of students in science and additional equipment in computing courses. Mwalimu Archard, Headteacher writes: We real appreciate your suport and it's our expectation that these facilities will help a lot our students in the improvement of our academic performance to our Students
Kibirizi Secondary School suffered minor cracking but most severe was the damage to the rainwater harvesting tank. The school received funds from the Global Giving appeal to rebuild and repair rainwater harvesting infrastructure and more secure storage cupboards for delicate science equipment. These are currently under construction.
Tweyambe School continues its rebuilding and our next update will include photos of completed dormitory accommodation following the peviously reported damage and fire.
On behalf of all our earthquke affected communities and schools we thank again all our Global Giving partners and donors for your generosity of support.
