Rural Classroom Addition (Uganda)

Partner | Building Tomorrow
Building Tomorrow is an international social-profit organization encouraging philanthropy among young people by raising awareness and funds to build and support educational infrastructure projects for vulnerable children in sub-Saharan Africa. By opening doors to new, accessible neighborhood classrooms, Building Tomorrow can help reduce illiteracy among children, reduce the dropout rate and ensure a brighter future for thousands of children.

In Uganda, 57 percent of children finish primary school and 18 percent have the chance to attend secondary school. And over 1 million children are not enrolled in primary school and, of those, 70 percent are never expected to.

The challenge is to develop innovative design solutions for classrooms in remote/rural communities in Uganda, with little or no existing access to educational facilities.
