The Suubi Center is one of projects that Growing Futures is currently involved in. While I'm in Uganda, I will be helping to get it set up, as well as traveling to schools to create gardens and harvest crops. (see pic)The Center will be used by children who are unable to continue their formal education as well other underprivileged community groups. Construction of the Suubi Center started at the beginning of this year.
Suubi hopes to provide training in a variety of fields, from farming techniques and livestock care, to English and Math classes.
Eventually they plan to offer a wide array of courses and training while serving as a community center. Most of this depends on finding ways to fund these projects.
I didn't include the pictures of the pit toilets that are also under construction, but I have been informed that they will be 100 ft deep when completed. Impressive poop pit. At some point there will also be demonstration gardens at the Center, as well as some small buildings to house volunteers.
