The Importance of Education in Uganda
Those living in Uganda’s smallest villages often suffer from malnutrition, poverty, and hopelessness. Grace Giving International is working to help assist and offer relief to children and their families by building schools and churches, and by aiding with donations, food, and the word of God. We are compelled to make a difference in the lives of those who suffer unimaginable livelihoods.
While we are addressing immediate needs such as food, water, and clothing, we are working hard on several other fronts. Our plans for the long term include continuing to grow opportunities in education. By building schools and churches, we ensure a better future for those in the villages. By making improvements in education, we give Ugandan children hope. With the right tools they can escape the life they were born into and break free from poverty.
At Grace Giving International we strongly believe that every person deserves to have a chance to live a better life. We feel that every child should have an equal chance at education, and it is our goal to see that we empower these impoverished communities to unlock their potential. We are passionate about our efforts and can see a difference in our work. With your generous donation, we can continue to dedicate our time and energy to our cause.
The Difficulties a Student Faces to Get an Education
Because of the limited awareness, narrow importance placed on education and need for children to help the family work, approximately just one in every four Ugandan children enrolled in primary school makes it to secondary school. And less than half of those students who finish primary school can read. Additionally, children with disabilities are left out of any formal education. Only a quarter of adolescents are enrolled at the secondary level. Factors such as school fees, abuse in school, and teenage pregnancy keep children, especially girls, out of school.
Even the school environment itself plays a large role in keeping children uneducated. A lack of standard hygiene necessities such as sinks, and toilets, and sexual abuse, are extremely unfortunate circumstances for young people hoping to get an education. Our goal at GGI is to not only build schools and provide necessary equipment to run them properly, but to work with the government to build a safe and adequate education system for all.
How Grace Giving International Helps In Uganda
By placing a greater emphasis on education while managing and coordinating curriculum with the local government, GGI has the potential to increase the quality and sustainability of education for Uganda’s most vulnerable children. With generous donations we can help aid the tuition fees, provide proper supplies, and offer so much more to these children who truly want to learn. GGI is helping primary and secondary age children get the education they need while helping to significantly reduce the nation’s drop-out rate. The COVD-19 pandemic has greatly reduced an education system that is already suffering. As we continue to support and progress in our efforts, we encourage you to consider giving – in whatever amount you can, to GGI to give these deserving children the better future they deserve.
