BUILDING PROJECTS
We believe local development should be shaped with input from the communities it touches.
To turn our vision into reality, we have pioneered an approach that is 100%
village-driven and places decision-making power in the hands of those most affected by hardship.
LETS BUILD!
Before the registration of our charity in 2018, Craig would travel each year with a group of men from the UK and build on the recommendation of the local leaders. Having built up wonderful relationships, Craig went on to head up the build of an affordable medical centre to benefit the community in rural Pece, (a community who otherwise would walk miles to a medical facility or wouldn’t be able to afford treatment). This new facility serves up to 600 sick adults and children each month.
Each year since 2014 we have brought a team together from across the water and together with a local build team we have invested into the future of our community through structures. Other builds include adventure playgrounds, a church, toilet facilities and a fully functional kitchen for the local remand home.
SCHOOL BUILDING
2023 saw the humble beginnings of planning to build a nursery school in Koc Lii - a rural community south of Gulu with around 300 households, identified a nursery school as its greatest need, a safe and inclusive place where young children could begin their education close to home.This project will establish a safe and inclusive learning environment, supported by clean water, sanitation, a kitchen, and recreation spaces. Land was generously given by the local church in 2023, and in 2024, we celebrated another vital milestone: a borehole was drilled, now providing clean, tap-to-mouth safe water for both the school site and surrounding households. With this first phase complete, the project advanced to construction of 2 classrooms and latrine toilets.
Constructing a school here in Uganda is a multifaceted endeavour, guided by numerous regulations and standards, offering both challenges and excitement. But, Craig is no stranger to regulations. He’s been building here since 2011 with remarkable achievements. Into 2026, phases 3, 4 & 5 are expected which will include landscaping, fencing and furnishings.
For this build, we have pioneered an approach that is 100% village-driven and places decision-making power in the hands of the families impacted by this development.

A CHILD FRIENDLY SPACE
In 2022 For Another Human sought to understand the pressing needs of our community health centre, and the unanimous response highlighted the requirement for a waiting area. So, we brainstormed and designed a child friendly waiting space.
The funds for this project were generously raised as part of Janine’s milestone 50th birthday celebration. The new area has been a hit with everyone, particularly Nurse Walter, who is the lifeblood of the centre, as you can see in the accompanying photo! In addition, we have spruced up the place by painting, laying new floor tiles, and rearranging the signage. This facility caters to the healthcare needs of over 600 community members each month, in addition to providing weekly treatments for the 100+ children in the Remand Home facility. We are thrilled to announce that this health centre now ranks third in the district for its services.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Your contribution to our building projects means that we can build more safe spaces, more schools and more homes for those who need it the most, people like Mama B and organisations like Christine’s House.
