In Omoro, located in northern Uganda the KOMOREBI Primary School was built through cooperation between Japanese and Ugandans. The climate of Omoro changes drastically between the wet and dry seasons. During the rainy season, the rivers flood the roads, making it impossible for children to pass through the streets and go to school.
Last year, FGC began a project to support KOMOREBI Primary School in Omoro, Uganda. We are working on a long-term project to build a bridge over the route children take to school, which is flooded during the rainy season. We also provide support for improving the environment for children.
Thanks to everyone's support, we reached our crowdfunding goal of 5 million yen. Construction of the bridge on the school route finally began at the end of April this year. Construction work on site is a battle against rain, but thanks to the cooperation of the construction company and the villagers, the foundation work was completed early and the bridge has been shaped to the point where people can pass through, as shown in the picture.
After this, the initial plan was to take our time and work on the top and railings of the bridge, but the impact of the rain at the site was greater than expected. and, after consultation, the work was brought forward to ensure that the bridge was well protected.
We will continue our efforts so that this project, which is supported by many people, will bear fruit and this bridge will become the "SEISA Africa Asia Bridge" and lead to the future of our children.
