  Of all regions, sub-Saharan Africa sadly has the highest rates of education exclusion. Over one-fifth of children between the ages of about 6 and 11 are out of school, followed by one-third of youth between the ages of about 12 and 14. According to UIS data, almost 60% of youth between the ages of 15 and 17 are not in school. -UNESCO, 2021 There is an urgent need to address this by providing empowering and providing quality education in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Education is a proven way to alleviate poverty and bring lasting change. Providing quality education reflects that every child is entitled to fundamental human rights - such as quality education. Beneficiaries are educated, empowering them to be future leaders in Uganda.
