80 children to a classroom, one teacher, no books
Schools After the War
When Acholi families returned home in 2008, most village schools were roofless shells. Two decades later, primary classrooms in the region still routinely hold 80–120 children with a single teacher, few textbooks, and no desks.
What we fund
Teacher stipends, uniforms, exercise books, desks, and — critically — a school meal. A fed child stays in class through the afternoon. An unfed child walks home at 11am and rarely returns.
Girls first
Girls are the first to be pulled out when families choose which children to keep in school. Our sponsorship program prioritises girls through P7 and into secondary — the tipping point that changes a family's next generation.
