The Uganda School Project

London, ENG, UK • Not Available Employees
Education/Training

In 2016 a a group of friends set out to do something about the disproportionately poor levels of primary education in rural Uganda. Although the Ugandan government has an initiative to provide public education for all (under the ‘Universal Primary Education' programme), a severe lack of resources, accountability and support means the educational system is highly ineffective. UNESCO has estimated that 68% of children in Uganda who enrol in primary school are likely to drop out before finishing the prescribed seven years. The statistics are worse for girls and for children with any sort of disability. Our aim is to support these struggling government schools in remote, rural areas of Uganda through development of infrastructure and the empowerment of communities.
