Across rural Uganda, thousands of children begin school without the foundation they need to succeed. Many villages have no early childhood teachers — and yet, within those same communities, there are women ready to teach, nurture, and lead.

The Tusome Paraeducator Programme bridges this gap. We identify and train women from local communities to become early childhood educators, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and resources to transform the lives of young learners.

In our unwavering quest to provide quality education to every child, three years ago, Tusome Africa embarked on a remarkable journey. We set out to establish high-quality but low-cost Early Childhood Education (ECE) centres in three schools nestled within Uganda's Iganga District.
