The project is located in the Masaka region, characterized by a tropical savanna climate with average annual rainfall between 1200 and 1500 mm, divided into two rainy seasons (March-May and September-November) and two dry seasons (June-August and December-February). This region also boasts stable solar energy resources, with average solar radiation of about 5 to 5.5 kWh/m²/day, making it suitable for solar energy generation if needed.

To ensure the safety of the installation, the partner has committed to installing CCTV cameras and maintaining a watch. However, additional safety measures may be necessary, such as securing the installation in a locked building due to its value, particularly in an area where access to drinking water is limited.

The project aims to establish a reliable water supply and purification system capable of providing 1000 liters (1 m³) of water daily for 142 students and 8 teachers. This system will purify water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and washing, with the potential for varying degrees of purification based on need. The design must be independent of the current buildings to ensure it can be implemented in the new facility once construction is complete.

Additionally, the project will focus on classroom construction, effective waste management, and creating structures to mitigate the impact of climate disasters, thereby contributing to the overall resilience and sustainability of the community.
