The populations of Nakakonge and Kirindi are about 4000 to 5000 people and the great proportion of these is under 18 years old and of school going age. There are a number of schools of varying quality but which suffer from the basic lack of infrastructure – toilets, classrooms and reading materials. Many of the classrooms we visited were temporary wooden structures and the toilets were planned for about a half to a quarter of the number that uses them. The villages also lack safe clean drinking water. The waters of the River Nile are heavily polluted and are about 2 to 5 kilometers from most homes.
