Idea
Describe your project in 80 characters or less.
Modernizing a Ugandan school with Nounish design, water, and solar tech.
What is the problem or frustration you want to solve using this grant?
Ndurumo Primary School in Uganda needs better infrastructure and resources.
Why do you think it has yet to be solved? Is it merely a lack of funding or are there other barriers at play?
Lack of funding and government support. Rural schools are often overlooked in budget allocations.
What is the best-case outcome of receiving this grant?
Improved learning environment for 500+ students with better facilities. The school will become a model for using crypto funding in educational development.
If you had access to 10x the funding amount, what could you improve? How would the outcome and impact change?
We could expand to multiple schools across East Africa and create standardized plans for others to follow. We would also add digital literacy programs.
Execution
How will you carry out the project and bring it to completion?
Design in Month 1, construction in Months 2-6, and launch in Months 7-8. I'll work with local architects and contractors while coordinating with the community.
What is an interesting (operational) detail about the project that is non-obvious to an outsider?
We'll use biogas from kitchen waste to power cooking, teaching students about renewable energy.
What does the timeline to completion look like? Any major factors that could delay the project? Any hard deadlines you need to comply with?
6-8 months total. Design (1 month), construction (4-5 months), and finishing (1-2 months). Weather or permit delays might extend the timeline. We need to finish before the next school year.
Are you already working on this project, and for how long? What have you learned?
Yes, for about 3 months. We've completed site assessments and identified local partners. We've learned that community support is essential but government processes can be slow.
About you
Why are you uniquely qualified to make use of this grant?
I'm an alumnus of the school with connections to the local community. I've worked on previous Nounish projects in East Africa.
How did you come up with the project idea? Do you have domain expertise in this area?
I attended this school and want to improve conditions there. I understand rural education challenges and have experience with community projects.
Please tell us in one or two sentences about something you achieved in the past that would be indicative of your ability to execute this project.
I led a successful Nounish community program in Uganda last year.
Budget
Please provide a rough breakdown of how you plan to spend the grant money.
Design and planning: 3,000 USDC, Water system: 4,000 USDC, Project management: 2,000 USDC, Documentation: 1,000 USDC.
