Masimiliano Ochwo Omiel Memorial Secondary School
The "Masimiliano Ochwo Omiel Memorial Secondary School" was built and has been in operation since 2004 so that young people have better chances on the already difficult job market in Uganda after 7 years of primary school. It has been fully recognized by the Ugandan Ministry of Education since 2007. In the first few years it was designed for day school students. In the meantime, a boarding school has been established primarily for students from more distant areas.
In addition to a classroom for science subjects and other classrooms, a school library, modern toilet facilities, teachers house, dormitaries for girls and infirmary have been added in recent years. The lessons were supplemented by training in the computer field in order to convey the requirements of today also in this rural area.
Since the School Year 2022, beginning the 10.01., S1, S2, S3 and S4 students are learning in our school as boarders. We began also with A-Level and lessons are ongoing for S5 pioneer students.

Water and energy supply in the projects
Water supply
In the villages in the Tororo district, most people have no electricity and no running water. Water sources can be found at very different distances from their homes. In keeping with African tradition, the women and young girls carry water several times a day in canisters on their heads. This arduous transport naturally leads to a rather economical consumption, also in terms of personal hygiene. This favours various diseases, such as diarrhoea, skin and worm diseases, especially among children. In the meantime, the national waterworks have also laid pipes in the villages. However, only a few families are able to pay the monthly water bill. In rainy seasons, you can see more and more tanks of different sizes for collecting rain.

Water from the national waterworks is supplied here, and more rainwater tanks have also been installed.
At the beginning of 2024, a hand-operated well was added at the school.
Power supply:
The electricity supply in Uganda has been privatised for many years, officially until 2025, and it remains to be seen what will happen next.
The power lines that we have here in the villages are very susceptible to faults, especially during heavy rain and storms. The transformers fail and then it's suddenly dark. Fortunately, there are more and more solar power systems. However, they are quite expensive to buy and there are still few reliable companies in our area. However, people have increasingly realised that solar light is a good source of light in the evening, given the amount of sunshine.
