Landscaping the Uphill Site
Raising for The Uphill Trust (Scotland)
Uphill Junior School lives up to its name as our school site is anything but flat, a reflection of the wonderful geography of the surrounding landscape in the crater lakes area of west Uganda, bordering the Kibale Forest.
The landscape is not the only spectacular feature – rain in Uganda comes down by the bucketful and very, very rapidly. It is like a firehose. Thunderstorms are common, and after a rainstorm flash flooding can be quite a problem.
With the rainstorms and 300 pairs of kids’ feet running around the school along unmade paths every day, you can imagine the erosion that has been happening to our hilly site.
We now have a major job ahead constructing robust walkways with drainage throughout the primary school site to make things safe for everyone, and to protect the ground.
This work will involve a considerable amount of careful excavation and construction, work that doesn’t come cheap: It will cost in the region of £12,000 for the whole site to be landscaped.
Can you help us to fund this important infrastructure project for the primary school site?
Do you have any gardening, building and landscaping contacts who might be interested to help us with a donation?
A little of what we have goes a very long way in Uganda, and every donation makes a difference!
Thank you.

About us
The Uphill Trust (Scotland)
Charity number: SC045385 
The Uphill Trust supports grass roots education in rural western Uganda: Uphill Junior School, a privately-owned primary school with kindergarten, was founded by a Ugandan teacher in February 2011 and provides educational opportunities for girls, orphans and children from poor rural families.
We are helping the school to build well equipped school buildings, maintain a motivated and well-qualified teaching staff, provide clean water and good sanitation, and support the education of girls and orphans.
When funding is available we also support projects that benefit the wider community, such as provision of mosquito nets, solar lanterns and reading glasses for the community elders.
The Uphill Trust is a zero-overheads charity - 100% of the money you donate is used to support Uphill Junior School.
Education is power!
