Educating
​
School in Uganda is not free. It’s extremely difficult for poor families in Uganda to afford the cost of sending their children to school and as a result, many children miss out on a vital education.
We believe that all children have the right to have a good education, and that education is vital to breaking the cycle of poverty. Our education projects are a lifeline to so many children from Kampala’s slums who would otherwise have no opportunity to have an education.

Encouraging Education Project
Our Encouraging Education Project allows children who would otherwise have no access to education to have the opportunity to learn, through taking part in free education classes.
The classes are taught by Ugandan teachers and run from Monday to Friday every week throughout the year...

School Sponsorship
Our School Sponsorship programme provides education for vulnerable children through paying their school fees. The neediest children in the communities we work in are identified and given access to formal education and the opportunity to go to school. Our School Sponsorship programme matches children with Child Sponsors around the world who pay their school fees, enabling a child to receive a good education and enhance their opportunities for the future.
