Strong foundations create lifelong opportunity.
We work with communities, schools and education partners in Uganda to help children access quality education and develop the foundations they need to learn.
Discover our workEvery child deserves the opportunity to learn well.
Since 2017, we have been developing practical approaches to early childhood education, reading and learning assessment in Uganda. Our work is shaped by experience alongside children, educators, parents and communities.
We believe a child's opportunities should not be determined by where they live, what their family can afford or the circumstances in which they grow up.
The future we are working towards.
For children to access quality educational opportunities that strengthen their learning and enable them to flourish in their diversity and abilities.
To increase access to quality education for every child and provide leadership in finding solutions to challenges within the education sector.
What we want to change.
Our work is guided by three connected ambitions. Select each one to explore what it means in practice.
Help children excel at school
Give children stronger foundations for learning and progression.
Help children stay in school
Address barriers that can interrupt a child's education.
Reduce educational inequalities
Work towards fairer learning opportunities for every child.
Good work begins with understanding what children need.
We work alongside the people closest to children's learning. These principles shape how we develop our programmes and decide what needs to happen next.
We look at what children need to learn well and where gaps in access, resources or support are getting in the way. This helps us focus on practical responses to real needs.
Parents, educators, schools and local education partners bring knowledge that matters. We work with them to develop approaches that make sense in their communities.
We use evidence and experience to improve our work, strengthen local capacity and develop programmes that can continue beyond our direct involvement.
Every child deserves the opportunity to learn well.
We are working towards a future where more children have the foundations, resources and support they need to flourish.
