Education Support & Schools

Operating Lidos Junior Schools in Bukalango, Kakiri to establish high-standard, safe primary schooling for vulnerable orphans.

Dismantling Poverty with Classrooms

In Uganda, quality basic primary education is often gate-kept behind expensive private fee structures. For orphaned children or child-headed households in rural Kakiri, education is the first thing that gets sacrificed to survive. This leads to early-childhood labor loops that lock families in poverty.

Our Primary Education Program operates Lidos Junior Schools as a sanctuary. We provide state-standard education, employing qualified, caring teachers and providing modern study materials. Through direct international child sponsorships, we cover all operational expenses so students study completely free.
