In Uganda, only 3 out of every 10 children that start primary school go on to finish it, and over 80% of children are unable to read and understand a short paragraph by age 10.In Namisindwa District, not only is primary school infrastructure an issue, but also dropout rates and learning. With 22million children under 15 yrs old, there has never been a more urgent time - or greater opportunity - to invest in the future through the education of today's children.
We help create a brighter future for the children of Namisindwa District through building classrooms, clean drinking water systems, a daily school lunch programme, a teacher training programme, and a programming focused on keeping girls in school and learning. We’ve seen a 300% increase in average attendance, and a 850% increase in ‘Primary Leaving Exam’ success rates at our schools. More children than ever are leaving our schools with the education and lifeskills to fulfil their true potential.
