In a heartwarming development, pupils at Lyakabirizi Core Primary School in Lwengo District no longer have to study under tree shades or makeshift shelters. The handover of three newly constructed classroom blocks marks the end of a challenging chapter for over 547 students who previously faced the difficulties of shared learning spaces and disrupted lessons due to extreme weather.

For years, Primary Six and Primary Seven students shared the same classroom block, and many of the younger pupils attended classes in temporary structures. This made it nearly impossible for the school to complete its syllabus during the rainy season, with classes frequently suspended. The situation gained our attention after media coverage highlighted the school’s dire conditions, drawing our empathy to intervene.

On September 21, 2024, Movit Foundation officially handed over three fully furnished classroom blocks, providing much-needed relief to the school’s pupils, parents, and authorities. This gesture is part of the foundation’s commitment to improving access to quality education across Uganda.

As we continue to extend our impact, this first project serves as a stepping stone towards future efforts aimed at uplifting other regions facing similar education challenges. The newly constructed classrooms are equipped with desks, ensuring that the students at Lyakabirizi can now learn in a safe, conducive environment, free from the interruptions they once endured.

By investing in education infrastructure, we are empowering young minds with the tools they need to secure a brighter future. This project stands as a testament to the transformative power of education and our dedication to fostering meaningful change in communities across Uganda.

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance healthcare access for all, Movit Foundation has donated a state-of-the-art incubator to St. Mary’s Hospital Lacor, Northern Uganda. This vital piece of medical equipment will help address the hospital’s neonatal care needs, particularly for premature and low-birth-weight infants.

The donation comes at a time when Uganda faces significant neonatal health challenges, with an infant mortality rate of 43 per 1,000 live births. St. Mary’s Hospital, serving over two million people, including patients from neighbouring countries, was critically under-equipped to handle neonatal care. Movit Foundation’s incubator will help alleviate this shortage, giving hundreds of babies a better chance at survival each year.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the National Drug Authority (NDA) for facilitating the documentation and approvals that made this donation possible. Movit Foundation remains committed to its mission of bridging healthcare gaps, and we look forward to continuing this partnership with NDA to deliver more essential resources to underserved communities.

It is with great joy that we announce the commencement of construction for a new three-classroom block at Lyakibiriizi Cope Primary School, a project made possible through the partnership between the Movit Foundation and Lwengo District officials.

At the core of our mission is a firm belief that education is the key to unlocking the potential of every child. This classroom block is more than just a structure, it symbolizes hope, opportunity, and a brighter future for the students of Lyakibiriizi Cope Primary School.

The groundbreaking ceremony was a momentous occasion, with our Board Members and Lwengo District officials laying the first brick to mark the beginning of this vital project. Their commitment and collaboration exemplify the power of community and shared vision.

This initiative is the first of many impactful projects that the Movit Foundation plans to undertake, as we strive to make meaningful contributions to the education sector and empower the next generation.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has played a role in making this dream a reality. Together, we are building a better tomorrow, one classroom at a time.

Stay tuned for updates on this and other exciting projects as we continue our journey of impacting lives through education.
