On Wednesday 20 July 2022, Ambassador Fukuzawa attended the commissioning ceremony for “The Project for the Construction of a Classroom Block and Latrine Blocks at Katiti Primary School in Kalaki District” and formally handed over one classroom block, two latrine blocks and classroom furniture. During the ceremony, Ambassador Fukuzawa expressed his hope that the facilities will be maintained well under the ownership of all actors in this school, such as the School Management Committee and the Parents Teachers Association.
The project was budgeted with a total grant of USD 84,662 equivalent to over 294 million Ug. Shs. The support is part of the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP), a scheme administered by the Embassy of Japan to fund community development projects which uplift the life of people at the grassroots level. So far, a total of 274 projects have been funded under the scheme since its initiation in Uganda in 1992.
Katiti Primary School was established in 1930. At the time of requesting for the grant, the school had only dilapidated semi-permanent structures and were hazardous to the pupils. Besides the old structures, they were congested, with average number of 109 pupils per class which is beyond recommended ratio of 1:54. As a response to this situation, the Embassy of Japan through GGP scheme supported to construct a furnished classroom and two latrine blocks.
