Education
Uganda hosts the fastest growing refugee crisis in the world, with over 1.2 million people fleeing ongoing conflicts in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Burundi (OPM, 2018).
Our goal is to provide quality education to 4,250 conflict affected children in the next 5 years at Primary, Secondary and University levels. To achieve this, we are focusing on:
2,000 conflict-affected children
have been educated through our primary school education program
1,000 secondary students
Have accessed quality secondary education on our scholarship scheme.
62 university students
In Uganda and DRC have been matched to university scholarship programs to pursue university education.
111
Have been trained at the vocational institute in the Eastern DRC.
Community Building
Kyangwali refugee settlement hosts about 118, 000 refugees with the majority from South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There is no more land for farming because of the most recent influx of refugees, forcing them to entirely depend on food aid from UNHCR.
Our livelihood programs generally seeks to increase the capacity for refugees through seed funding and skills development in livestock, agriculture and business management. Through this, our refugee communities can achieve food security and earn supplementary income to support their children in schools.
