Shelterbox, the Cornish aid organisation, has sent 10 tented school rooms to Mbale in the East of Uganda.
More than 1,300 children are living in a refugee camp in Mbale after being made homeless by mudslides.
The city is close to the Buduba region of Uganda, where torrential rain caused landslides. At least three hillside villages were buried and around 350 people killed.
