HYT begins work this week assisting another Jinja-based charity, the Bujagali Trust, in a major project in the impoverished village of Mutai, in Kamuli District.
HYT will help the Bujagali Trust transform Mutai Secondary School with a programme of renovation and building, that will include a new examination hall, classroom and HYT-designed kitchen, complete with fuel-efficient stoves.
Philip Yiga, HYT’s Senior Trainer, will be the site’s project manager, while as many as 20 of HYT’s locally-trained builders and masons will undertake the construction work.
‘This project will enable more young Ugandans to use the skills HYT has given them, while benefiting another poor school community,’ says HYT’s Coordinator, Russell Matcham.
‘It will also generate income for these HYT-trained men and extend our experience and exposure in a number of important areas.’
