LIVE: #NSSFHashRun to improve sanitation at Kampala public schools


Save for the rain, it was a great sporty day at the Kampala Hash Seven Hills Run, an initiative aimed at raising Sh 240 million to for selected Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) schools to improve sanitation and renovate structures.

The National Social Security Fund's initiative in partnership with Kampala Hash House Harriers, a group of professionals, aims to improve learning conditions of more than 70,000 pupils in schools managed by KCCA.

The early start in rain

NSSF Managing Director, Richard Byarugaba: “The NSSF Kampala 7 Hills Run is a vehicle through which we will progressively raise funds to contribute to the improvement of learning conditions in Kampala schools, mainly improving sanitation facilities and renovations.”  


KCCA Executive Director Mrs. Jennifer Musisi“I applaud NSSF Uganda for the initiative and call upon organizations and companies to participate in the run as it will go a long way in improving the learning conditions of children under Universal Primary Education (UPE)."

"Only 43% of KCCA schools meet the recommended pupil – toilet stance ration. On average, 57% don’t meet the required standards and 69% of schools don’t have provisions for children with special needs."
