Opening of PROUD Village in Kabale

PROUD Village Unit 1 classes and sanitation

Exactly three years after the start of operations in Kabale (Uganda) we opened Unit 1 of PROUD Village, a facility for children with intellectual disabilities. The new construction is composed of 2 classes, 4 toilets, 3 showers and 1 laundry room. The unit has a separate enclosure and is equipped with 2 water tanks. Moreover, everything is prepared to connect to water and electricity. 

On February 6, the first 8 students with intellectual disabilities came to PROUD Village. Praise, Elizabeth, Arinda, Joseph and Pritty form group 1 (primary school age) and Sarah, Bridget and Ignatious group 2 (youth). We had to improvise to cook -the kitchen is still under construction- and the uniforms were not delivered yet. But it took not long before everyone was at ease. Watch the picture!
