Kapeeka Farming & Education Village
Julius came to St David’s College via our projects in Uganda and went on to gain a 1st class degree in Business and Law and returned to Uganda to work for BDO. For the past 3 years the charity has supported Julius in partnership with Restoration Community Uganda so he can be part of the management ‘on the ground’ for this new exciting project.
The project will include a pre-school, a primary school and a vocational training college located in a new concept ‘education village’. For more on the concept see the pictures below.
Sustainable development and environmental sensitivity are key strategic factors as we aim:
To provide fresh water to the community.
To explore alternative/sustainable sources of fuel (biogas).
To develop regenerative, sustainable, permaculture in food production.
To build a vocational training programme for young people to create a self-perpetuating strategy for dissemination and growth.
The initial phase of the programme is to secure a water supply on the land. A hydrology survey has been completed and the water source identified. The next stage is to drill the well.
The end goal is to pipe this water to where it is needed for irrigation and domestic supplies. The map below shows how we achieved this in our rural project close to Mityana.
Below is the 6 acre plot that has already been bought and iTs location just to the north of Kampala.
