Construction is taking place for the classrooms of 2- to 6-year-old students at Uhola Primary School. We welcome the regular on-site report by Deputy Headmaster Charles Opondo. Thanks for the photos!
Update on school expansion
Christmas is approaching
We have a meaningful, social and above all fitting 5 days before Christmas Eve a “last minute” gift idea: How about a UVF-membership or donation, so you do something good on behalf of your loved ones? Just click here.
Construction begins
The construction of the pre-school classrooms began with a ground breaking ceremony with the local priest of the local Anglican Church. Subsequently, measurement work took place. We are very excited and wish you all a nice 3rd Advent!
Greetings from Nicholas
Well, were the boots and plates well filled this morning?
Nikolaus (commissioned by the Holger Maack Foundation and the Rieser Bauernmuseums- and Mühlenverein e.V.) has paid a lot of attention to UVF this year and has donated over € 2,250. You are fantastic! Let’s see what else will happen during Advent season.
Sponsoring by RTL
Thanks to one of our members, our ECDE-project has been proposed to RTL Foundation (“We help children”) as part of an employee project. And it gets even better: We were not only recommended, but also selected and sponsored with 2.400 euros. Thank you very much!
UVF goes Berlin
Supporting education means reducing poverty, creating local perspectives and giving children a future in their home countries. That is the aim of the joint initiative “1000 Schulen für unsere Welt” (1000 schools for our world) from the German Association of Cities and Towns (Deutscher Städtetag), the German County Association (Deutscher Landkreistag) and the German Association of Towns and Municipalities (Deutscher Städte- und Gemeindebund) together with the patron Dr. Ing. Gerd Müller, Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, started today in Berlin.
Cities, counties and communities together with their citizens and the local economy want to make an effective contribution to development cooperation, the fight against the causes of flight and the improvement of life situations in countries of the Global South.
At the invitation of District Administrator Stefan Rößle we traveled to Berlin to attend the kick-off event of the initiative.
Exams in Kenya
Uhola Primary School students – as well as all other students in Kenya – have been diligently engaged in preparation for the national and partly school leaving examinations.
We keep our fingers crossed and wish all candidates much success! Na bahati nzuri!
Campaign continues to be effective
We are incredibly thrilled that even 23 days after the end of our fundraising tour, so many donations reach us via the GoFundMe-page eintrudeln – amazing!
In fact, our goal is not far away and we can probably begin with the school expansion at the beginning of the next year!

Cycling trip for fundraising
Die Fundraising-Aktion mit dem Fahrrad von München nach Rom war ein voller Erfolg: 10 Tage, knapp 1.200 km, 2 Fahrräder, Vater und Tochter und über 4.000 Euro an Spenden! Ein riesiges Dankeschön an alle fleißigen Spender/innen! Eindrücke und Fotos zu den einzelnen Tour-Tagen gibt es auf dieser Spendenseite unter “Updates”.
Die Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung (HAZ) berichtete gleich 2x über uns. Die beiden Artikel finden Sie hier und hier.
Immer dabei unsere UVF-Flagge (gesponsert von unseren Freunden von BizTune), um auf uns und den guten Zweck, der dahinter steckt, aufmerksam zu machen!
