Building New Toilets at Sanya Juu Primary School

Providing Cooking Facilities at Kimanganuni School

Food for the children was cooked on the floor, which was hazardous and slow.

New facilities have been built in an extension to an existing building, shown on the left above. It housed new kitchen and store.

The kitchen is shown above, prior to the installation of new cooking pots.
Construction of New Boys' Toilets in Makomu, Tanzania

The boys' toilet at Makomu School in Tanzania was an old pit latrine housed in a dilapidated building that offered little privacy. Although the latrine was full, 350 boys aged 7-16 years were still using it.

A new toilet has now been completed at a cost of £4,600.
Provision of New Windows and Renovation of Blackboards
at Kitowo Primary School

Working in conjunction with a local women's organisation, we provided
new windows and renovated blackboards. The school is in a very cold part
of Tanzania, at an altitude of over 1900m and did not have glazed windows.
The blackboards were in poor condition before they were rebuilt.
Sending Computers to Africa
21 redundant computers were very generously donated by Belmarsh Prison. These were upgraded by You Touch Africa and had additional software installed.

The computers have been sent to Tanzania, where they have been successfully installed in several schools.
