The project aims at providing primary education to 150 orphaned and underprivileged children in our community. 4/5 children cannot afford quality primary education in Uganda. At completion of the primary level, a child is equipped with basic knowledge and skills. Orphans and vulnerable children in disadvantaged communities are our target group. Supporting these children with scholastic materials and school fees will enable a child to stay in school and complete primary education.
In Uganda, there is a high drop out rate of children dropping out of school before completing their primary education due to the viscous cycle of poverty caused by high levels of unemployment of their parents in the rural areas. As a result parents / Guardians do lack resources to make contribution towards the education, children do lack the required scholastic materials and training materials, most children cannot access proper nutrition which leads to poor health, and some of them are sick.
Over 200 children living in rural areas and slums will be able to access education through sponsorship and school fees support and scholastic materials support. Through continuous monitoring of the progress of a child's education, guidance to improve their performance and make better career choices for a brighter future will be to the children.
With support, more than 200 children will access education thus eliminating poverty. Achieving an educated community will transfer at least 80% of increased knowledge to create jobs and skills to perform in the employment sector. With reduction in illiteracy levels, unemployment gap will be run down. We believe that education of children will elevate families from poor living standards to middle class standards of living and this effect will be spread to communities.
