After the community meeting and remarks from the principal @ilukor1 and local council leaders, the team proceeded to Omaido Spring in Sagam Cell, Okunguro Parents Ward, Bukedea Town Council.

Recap; On the 18th of this month, the @Hygiene1958 team, led by the principal @ilukor1 , travelled to Bukedea for a special community engagement and commissioning of a water spring improved by our students during their rural practical.

#NationalCleaningDay Hon. Nagoli Umar MP for Northern Division, joined us in cleaning Mbale City. The exercise involved opening blocked drainage channels, slashing, sweeping, and removing garbage as we work together to promote a cleaner, healthier and safer city.

Happening Now. Our students were distributed across different villages of Kasoka, Kaloko, Adodoi, Kajamaka, Kapeleu, Kapala, and Kamon actively engaging residents in practical WASH activities.

We remain fully on course with this week’s activities as the School of Hygiene continues to bridge classroom knowledge with real-world community and health facility experience.

The first day focused on orientation and familiarisation with the health facility, preparing our dear students for practical learning and meaningful engagement throughout their placement.

Today, our students participated in discussions and engagements geared towards the protection of water sources, strengthening their understanding of how environmental health and community practices contribute to disease prevention and public health.

Yesterday marked the beginning of our engagement at Bukedea Health Centre IV, as our students officially commenced their health facility-based exposure.

Happening now in Bukedea District; The Rural Practicals Programme 2026 is ongoing in Bukedea District, with students continuing with household (HH) allocation for those who were not allocated households yesterday.

Recap: Day II of settlement at Bukedea PTC Our Day II of settlement at Bukedea PTC was marked by a series of practical activities, including cleaning and waste sorting for easy handling, detailing electrical and lighting installations,

The site was heavily waterlogged, covered in mud, and physically demanding to work through. But with the guidance and support of our dedicated tutors, our students pushed through the challenge, applying their classroom knowledge to real-world conditions.

From site inspection to clearing the surrounding area, the team worked side by side with the local community — because real learning happens in the field, not just the classroom. We believe in hands-on training, and this project was a true testament to that philosophy.

#ThrowbackThursday Back in 2022, our Diploma 1 students from the School of Hygiene rolled up their sleeves at Fofo Spring, Buwalasa Sub County, Sironko District, for a hands-on community water project.
