The Julius Foundation (TJF), the Cathedral’s Sister Ministry in Uganda has been selected for the
Cathedral Lenten Project 2024. This year the Lenten Project is to install a Sanitation system Holy Trinity School. TJF is partnering with the Engineers Without Borders (EWB) at Carroll College to replace the current inadequate system with one that is in compliance with Uganda government requirements to sustainably handle the projected increase in student population of 600 students.

The EWB team traveled to Uganda in May, 2023 to gather data and study alternatives to upgrade the system of pit latrines and open-air soak pits that present health and safety hazards. The team is making plans to return in 2024 to gather additional data and to install a rain water catchment system off of the roofs of the school buildings.

An enhanced water supply will be necessary for sanitation by enlarging the existing solar-panel array and installing an electric pump. Underground plumbing will be needed to connect water tanks to toilets and showers in the restrooms. New septic tanks will replace the soak pits.

The estimated cost of the Sanitation system is $67,500. Consider charitably giving to this
worthy cause to help our brothers and sisters in Christ in Africa to obtain basic necessities of life
that we take for granted.
