0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Families are large, - with up to 10 children.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37- To limit costs...
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- ..it's not unusual to see two - families living in one small hut.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- 9,000 of the residents are - young people under the age of 15.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Of that 9,000...

0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Education is free here - - education is also free in Wales...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- ..but only a small percentage - of children...
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- ..stay in - the educational system here...
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- ..because of additional costs...
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- ..such as clothes, shoes, - pencils and paper.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- If the family is poor, - they have to make a decision.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Do children attend school or - are the children sent out to work?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- It's a difficult decision for them.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- The Child of Hope charity - is trying to change the situation.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- In February 2011, they opened - a new school in the slum.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Let's have a look.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- It's holiday time at the school...
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- ..but that doesn't mean - the school is closed.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15- Every day, a holiday club is held. - Over 100 children are here today.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Helping out - is our crew's first task.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- You are welcome!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Bore da. My name is Arwel.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Arwel.

0:08:49 > 0:08:50- Rachel.- - Rachel.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- It was such a great response.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- When we walked into the classroom - for the first time...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- ..I had goose bumps.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- I feel happy knowing that - 280 children attend the school.
0:09:08 > 0:09:14- So much work has been done to ensure - the children attend school...
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- ..but in reality, thousands - of children aren't being educated.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- It's sad to know that children - can't afford to attend school.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- They can't pay for basic things - such as clothes.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- They want to attend school, - it's a privilege for them.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- It's holiday time - and they're still here.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- I can't think of anything worse than - being in school during holiday time.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- It makes me feel guilty - for taking things for granted.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40- He's a good choice.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Within the team of four - heading to Uganda...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- ..I'd work well - in terms of planning.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- I like talking and discussing.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Iestyn fills the house! - Gethin's shy and quiet.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- It'll be very strange here - without him.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Croeso is welcome. - Croeso in Welsh.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- We're going to have - our own Olympics here.
0:11:17 > 0:11:24- An Ugandan athlete won the country's - first gold medal for 40 years.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- It's fitting for us to stage - our own Olympics in the school.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- Where is Uganda? Do you want - to come up and point to it?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- We'll work with the children - for a few days.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- We'll teach them some geography.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Some art - in the shape of flag making...

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Currently, this school - can only accept 280 children...
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- ..but the building - of a new floor is planned...
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- ..to increase the capacity to 600.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- The charity team - choose the children carefully...
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- ..knowing which families - have the greatest need.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- They offer a place to one child - from each of these families.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- The charity offers more - than just education for children.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- They also feed the children.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- One staff member said some children - only eat one meal a day.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- That meal was the school meal. - That's a rather frightening thought.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- If the children are ill, - they're cared for...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- ..and nursed back to health.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- The charity provides - pencils and books.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- They choose one child - from each household.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- How do you choose?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- I don't know how they can choose - from all the children.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Choosing one from each family - is a fairer system...
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- ..than filling the school with - children from the same families.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Brothers and sisters - can teach one another.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- One child is fed and clothed - by the school...
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- ..which puts less pressure - on the parents.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- I've never done anything - like this before.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- It's a frightening experience. You - have 25 children in front of you.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31- You have to teach them.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- The children were great - - they were enthusiastic.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- They were eager to learn.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- They appreciate everything. - They want to get to know you.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Everyone's so friendly here.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- It's a pleasure to be here - and get to know the children.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- I don't want to teach, - but with them, it's fine.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- It's so different to home.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02- Here, there's a teacher at the front - of the class and they all listen.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08- At home, there's a greater emphasis - on group work, involvement...
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- ..learning together - and learning through play.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- There's less of that here.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- I'd like to be - a primary school teacher.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- On which continent - would you find kangaroos?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- I spend a lot of time - teaching different ages.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- Ceri has taught me - about the rare gorillas in Uganda.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- They grow vegetables and fruit - to earn money and to eat.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- They walk in the middle - of the road to find water.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- They have to walk for miles - to find it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- It's very hot there.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Uganda is larger than Wales. - It's the same size as Great Britain.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- There's very little work - for parents to earn money...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- ..to buy food - to feed their children.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Families keep goats, - chickens and donkeys.
0:15:10 > 0:15:18- Ugandan schools aren't - as colourful as schools in Wales.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- What do you usually put in the box?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- I'm looking forward - to seeing the schools...
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- ..and seeing what opportunities - children have in Uganda.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- The charity not only - looks after the children...
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- ..but also helps - the slum's other residents.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- It provides sleeping mats, - blankets and mosquito nets.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59- One of the slum's greatest problems - is its provision of clean water.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- This water looks clean - but it's full of harmful bacteria.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Since the residents - don't have enough money...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- ..to buy resources - to improve their situation...
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- ..Child of Hope has installed - water filter systems...
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- ..in 30 communities - to provide clean drinking water.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- They have also built toilets.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- The people have to share - the toilets and washing areas.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- One such area is our crew's - responsibility this afternoon.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Welcome to the slum.
0:16:38 > 0:16:45- This afternoon, we are going to help - to build up a new bathroom.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50- At the moment, we are seeing - the state of the bathroom.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- We are going to put that down - and build a new one.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- For your information...
0:16:57 > 0:17:02- ..there are about 70 people - living in these houses...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- ..that are using that one facility.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06- 70.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- It's physical work. - I'm sweating so much.
0:17:18 > 0:17:24- We're making holes for the posts. - We need six holes.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- That's the foundation - for the bathroom.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- One of our crew is more worried - about something else.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- When we arrived here, I thought, - "Oh, no, chickens everywhere."
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- They're not harming anyone - but I want them to keep away.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- I'm looking at it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- It's coming around to my side. - It knows that I don't like them.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00- When I was a little girl, - I was attacked by a peacock!
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- I don't like anything that pecks!
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- I'm doing something - and trying to ignore it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- If it comes any closer, I'm off.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- I didn't really think I'd be chosen.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- I was shocked.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- I still don't think it's sunk in - that I'm actually going.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Rachel's a happy girl. - She always gives 100%.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- If she starts something, - she wants to finish it.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56- They then enter the house.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- I asked him how he coped with that. - How did he get rid of them?
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- He said there was no way of doing so - - they can't afford poison.
