On 11 May 2023, Counsellor Yoshimura attended the commissioning ceremony for “The Project for the Construction of a Science Laboratory Block at Kasawo Secondary School in Mukono District” and formally handed over the laboratory block and classroom furniture. The Chief Administrative Officer and various district local government officials attended the event. During the ceremony, Counsellor Yoshimura expressed his hope that the laboratory block will improve the students’ studying environment for science subjects, such as Physics, Biology, and Chemistry.
The project was budgeted with a total grant of USD 90,441, equivalent to over 313 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.
Kasawo Secondary School was established in 1927 as a government-aided school. At the time of requesting for the grant, there were no laboratory blocks and students were using a normal classroom as a temporary laboratory, making it difficult for over 1,000 learners to take science classes. As a response to this challenge, the Embassy of Japan supported Kasawo Secondary School to construct a laboratory block and procure classroom furniture.
