Kathy Stigman’s Carson Glore Bright Future School - Est. 2022

3 classrooms, 8 latrines, 3 water tanks, new desks & school supplies

The Kathy Stigman’s Carson Glore Bright Future School was constructed and opened in 2022 in Zone 8 of the Palabek Refugee Settlement in Uganda. The new school supports 1,000 children with three new classrooms, desks, five latrine blocks including private girls latrines and wash facilities for safety, and rainwater harvesting tanks.

The new classrooms were built using eco-friendly interlocking brick technology, known as Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (ISSB). These are a significantly more eco-friendly alternative to kiln-fired bricks as they do not have to be fired in a kiln, so they do not deplete forests or burn fossil fuels and have a much smaller carbon footprint. The blocks also use less cement and are better insulated against extreme temperatures.
