The commencement of the first school term was a hectic one for us here at Simoshi, as we had an amazing demand of institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) from new schools wanting to join our Project Activity.
Since the year 2023 kicked off, five new schools have now improved their kitchen environment and purchased IICS to replace their old cooking practices:
Mariam High School
St. Denis Ssebuggwawo S.S. Ggaba
Kiwafu Muslim Primary School
Nsangi Mixed Primary School
Chadwick Namate Primary School
Such high demand means schools are slowly recovering from the tough 2-year closure during the Covid-19 pandemic and the financial struggles this meant to many. We anticipate a busy 2023 and expect another 20 new schools joining before the year ends.
