Help Children Get the Future They Deserve
What do we do?
Our donors give children the education they need to escape from a cycle of poverty. We provide nursery, primary, secondary and college education and support children into their adult lives.
We work Kanungu, a rural region in Uganda where people earn far below the national average of £2 per day; most families rely on subsistence farming to survive.
Government schools do exist, but the education is low-quality, teachers are often absent on their second job and parents struggle to pay, so few children reach the end of primary school before being taken out to work on the land.
Pupils attending our schools get a high-quality education from committed teachers who are paid regularly. Parents recognise the value of the education, care and nutrition we provide and keep their children at school.
They gain the knowledge and skills needed for paid employment, they grow in self-confidence, education delays the age at which girls get pregnant and, as young adults, they can support their families and benefit the wider community.
How does it work?
Over the last twenty years, we have built a team in Uganda who believe passionately in giving their pupils the education they need. Many staff could get higher-paid and easier jobs at Government schools, but they are committed to the quality provided at Teach Uganda schools.
Our donors have given thousands of girls and boys of all faiths education from nursery right through to college, completely transforming their lives.
The exam results are among the best in the region, not because the school limits itself by teaching to the exams but because of the pupils’ engagement and staff dedication.
We focus on subjects which will be useful for their lifetime, including science and computing. It is expensive to provide the necessary library, lab equipment and laptops, but well worth it.
We love visiting Kanungu regularly because we see what a difference this work makes to people there. With your continued help, we look forward to seeing further improvements in future.
