This project will build a block with three classrooms at Okere Community School to enable 100 children who are part of our early childhood education programme to have access to ample, quality and conducive learning atmosphere and facility.
Otuke District has one of the highest adult illiteracy rates in Uganda at 72%. This is mostly attributed to limited investment in and lack of early childhood education development. For instance in 2015, a UNICEF study found out that up to 75% of nursery school going age children in Otuke District weren't going to school. This is mostly attributed to limited access to learning centres. As such, the classroom will annually give 100 children the opportunity to study and excel later in life.
When children study in a spacious, fun, favorable environment, they become more interested in learning. The classroom block will give children a beautiful physical space to study from thereby enabling them to be more imaginative, curious, creative and bold.
The classroom will annually give 100 children the opportunity to receive quality education which will be their gateway out of poverty and hopelessness.
