WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AT KASIISI?

There will be an update on the porridge provision in August, following the visit to Kasiisi of trustee Sue Oliver, and Kasiisi Project (USA) Director, Elizabeth Ross.

On 30 March 2009, Guest of Honour Dr Emily Otali handed the very first mug of porridge to the Head Girl of Kasiisi Primary School.  This was the day that the dreams of the Porridge Project finally started to be realised.  Great thanks are due to all our supporters who have helped this exciting day to arrive. 


 



New latrines, funded by the Kitchen Table Charities Trust are more or less complete at Kasiisi Primary School.



The splendid new kitchen, built partly with funds raised for the Project by Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP in London, is also near completion.
 


In February 2009 two trustees visited Kasiisi, painted classrooms, took new footballs and even a trombone. They also saw the great progress made with the buildings onsite, pictured left. 

In June 2008 a group of Kasiisi Porridge Project trustees and friends from the UK visited Kasiisi Primary School. (more...)
