Impact Story
Early education in Uganda is predominately operated by private entrepreneurs who are generally located in urban, cash basis or profit oriented areas and they only offer limited services to urban dwellers and the richer minority. In previous years, parents in this community and surrounding areas were frustrated because there were no quality education for their children forcing each parent to send their children to nearby towns. Each child was transported by motor bike making it can be expensive and quite risky due to frequent accidents.
Due to lack of affordable and accessible kindergartens, close to 90% of the children in this area do not have access to early education because of the costs involved. Due to accessibility and the current situation where all kindergartens are run by private institutions that charge exorbitantly which sets apart the poor and struggling parents who can not afford this other school. That is why most parents wait to enroll their children into primary school education at age the 9 or 10.
