St Lukes Classroom
Empowering Ugandan Students of less privileged communities, to be healthy, safe, and self-reliant
St. Luke nursery and primary school is a community and church founded school that Tangu Utoto foundation discovered needed assistance back in 2018.
In Aug -Oct 2022 TEAM ŌYL collaborated with Tangu Utoto Foundation to fund and construct a fully equipped classroom block and a pit latrine to provide children with a more conducive environment and a proper effective learning experience.
Through generous donations, Tangu Utoto has managed to construct a fully equipped semi – permanent four classroom block and a five pit latrine for St. Luke Nursery and Primary School.
Through donations from TEAM ŌYL matched by dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation, Tangu Utoto constructed a fully equipped semi–permanent four classroom block and a five stance pit latrine for St. Luke nursery and primary school in Uganda.
Project Objective
To provide a safe, healthy and conducive learning environment for children at St. Luke Nursery and primary school.
Four semi – permanent timber classrooms with electric powering were constructed on a permanent foundation.
A five stance pit latrine was constructed
We were able to equip the classrooms with 24 varnished learners’ age appropriate and user friendly tables and 144 seats. Each classroom having 6 learners’ tables and 36 leaners’ seats.
We provided 4 teacher tables and 4 seats, each classroom having one teacher table and one seat.
Four black chalk boards were provided.
Two laptops were provided to the school with a wifi connectivity to help in research.
Each classroom was provided with a learners’ mat for resting, story telling and to facilitate indoor play.
Two wooden swings, one wooden climb and slide, a sand pit and 10 motor tyres were provided for outdoor play ground.

Expected Outcome
To make learning interesting and motivate children to come to school as well as allowing teachers create a fame-work for their learners, encourage efficiency in teaching for improved quality education.
We scheduled to start with Mobilisation of community members on 21st July 2022 followed by procurement and construction work. We targeted to complete and commission by 16th September 2022.
However, we did not achieve our targeted timeline because of delay in funds and rain. Rain also affected the seasoning of timber hence causing delay.
The project started 3 August 2022 and completed/ commissioned on 24 October 2022.
