Projects
APP is a growing NGO, now with a permanent base in Kampala, local full-time staff members and a small group of permanent volunteers in the UK. Various projects include the building of a Level Two Health Centre in Gulu Main Prison; work on a University Education Centre at Luzira Upper Prison in Kampala; and feasibility studies on legal and psychological interns offering their services in the Condemned Section of Upper Prison, proposed to be carried out in partnership with Basic Needs and with the Centre for Capital Punishment Studies.
McLean and other volunteers are developing projects across Uganda, including building a new law library with donated books and building a new education centre for female prisoners. APP is also working to install sustainable energy sources in Ugandan prisons, and has been assisted by energy student Shoko Okamura and Better Generation.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
