Aim

We need to build a water well for our partner school in Uganda so that all the children and the whole of their community can have safe water

Our partner school, the Abbey Foundation School in Lwengo, Uganda are facing many challenges. Many of their children are orphans and have no family - the school is their family. They sent us a list of challenges they would like us to help with and our school community at St Patrick's decided we MUST do something - we can't be a real Catholic school if we don't put our faith into action.

Our Mini-Vinnies group, around 25 children who meet every week to try and put the Gospel into action, are taking the lead on this project and we have pledged to raise £10,000 by St Patrick's Day, 17th March 2027 so that we can commission and build a water source for Abbey Foundation School. Our children were horrified to find that the children in Lwengo had to walk 2 miles just to reach a water source and then had to find a way to boil it and make it safe - they  could not think of anything that was more important than the right to safe, clean water.
