AfterSchool Program

We are convinced that education enhances children’s well-being, provides them with a better chance in life, helps to break the cycle of poverty, and improves the lives of their children and families, as well. Moreover,  education contributes to the economic development of the community.

We know that every parent wants the best for their child’s future. Sometimes, in a world filled with distractions and challenges, finding the right support system can make all the difference. From education, mentorship, homework assistance, and tutoring to encouraging higher grades and boosting motivation to team-building activities and cooperative learning experiences that help develop essential social skills, our programs are designed to empower kids to unlock their potential and thrive.   

#AfterSchoolProgram

Volunteer facilitators

Volunteer facilitators are at the forefront of Children Reachout Uganda's vision of connecting children, families, and communities.

They make a long-term commitment to run a Literacy Program in the community. Volunteer facilitators are integral to supporting children and families to build relationships, and life skills through the Literacy Program.

Volunteers serve as companions for children and families along their grief journeys, and we couldn’t do it without them. Help children find hope and healing through one of our rewarding volunteer opportunities.

After school program

As you may be aware, opportunities for quality after-school activities are crucial for the holistic development of children, especially those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. 

Unfortunately, children with special needs face even greater challenges due to limited resources and suitable programs that cater to their unique requirements.

we aim to establish a comprehensive after-school program that will focus on providing a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment for less privileged children, including those with various special needs. 

Through a range of activities such as educational support, arts ,crafts and other life skills training speaking, listening and writing  we aspire to empower these children by promoting their physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth. #ChildrenWithSpecialNeedsHeroesToo #EveryChildMatters

International Day of the Girl Child 2023

International Day of the Girl Child is marked every year on 11 October. The day focuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face, promoting girls’ empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights. We celebrate International Day of the Girl Child to amplify the message that girls have the right to a safe, educated, and healthy life during their formative years and as they mature into women.

Why do we celebrate it?

Girls face distinct

disadvantages for being both young and female. Around 129 million girls around the world are out of school and less than 40% of countries provide girls and boys with equal access to education.

Children Reachout Uganda believes that investing in girl’s education not only equips girls with skills and knowledge to grow and prosper, but it helps their families, and the wider community to thrive as well. Girls who stay in school are more likely to support themselves, look after their health, avoid early marriage and pregnancy and contribute to society.

The theme of International Day of the Girl 2023 is

 "INVEST IN GIRLS' RIGHTS: OUR LEADERSHIP, OUR WELL-BEING". 

Sponsorship

Our #ChildSponsorship program provides a way for our sponsors to have a specific name and face to pray for as well as receive updates throughout the year. 

Sponsorship not only helps provide for the basic needs of a specific child, but it also helps ensure that the child continues to be mentored, and has access to healthcare, nutrition, and quality education throughout the term. 

Your generosity helps us reach out to more children in Uganda

Today you can choose to join the family of sponsors by emailing us at info@childrenreachout.org

ECD

Our Early childhood education program focuses on the critical developmental milestones, skills, and concepts that children attain during this period of their lives, from social-emotional skills to the beginnings of numeracy, literacy, and critical thinking. In addition to preparing children for future academic success, the development of high-quality early childhood care

Our children can develop essential competencies, explore, create, and express themselves.

We run a program that is capable of reaching these positive, development goals and will have an essential understanding of early childhood development, and the enormous potential in early years learners.

International Literacy Day

#InternationalLiteracyDay 

“reminds the international community of the importance of literacy for individuals, communities, and societies, and the need for intensified efforts towards more literate societies.”

Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak, and listen in a way that lets us communicate effectively and make sense of the world.

Let's teach children and make the country literate. Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you. 

Education is not the filling of pails, but the lighting of a fire.

Children Library

Yesterday we opened up  our community children's library together

We believe that introducing children to the joy of reading is integral to their overall success and happiness.

Poverty may make travel less likely for our community  children, but books have the power to open up entire new worlds and ideas. 

More pragmatically, regular reading improves overall literacy, problem solving, critical thinking and decision-making skills.

Further, reading enhances creativity and imagination. The benefits of reading are truly unlimited. 

We appreciate our partners for the efforts of making the children's library a reality #JivtibaFoundation #RainbowInternationalSchool #OldBooksForNewEyes

Launch Porridge Program

We started this program after noticing that many children were coming to school Hungry because they had not had Breakfast or had to walk a distance to the school and needed more sustenance to keep them going throughout the day. Today we launched a porridge program in one of our partner schools,

School Porridge Program

School Children Porridge Program aims to provide nutritious breakfast to children in schools. It not only helps to address hunger and malnutrition but also enhances the overall learning environment for the children.

The program is usually implemented in schools where children from low-income households attend. The program ensures that children receive at least one nutritious meal a day, which can supplement their diet and reduce their hunger levels.

Benefits of a School Porridge program include improved academic performance, increased school attendance, and decreased dropout rates. Moreover, the program helps improve children's health and nutrition, which leads to a reduction in morbidity and mortality rates.

Overall, a School Porridge program is an effective way to address hunger and malnutrition among children in low-income areas, contributing to their physical and cognitive development, and promoting their well-being.

Educational Tour

Yesterday our children toured AfriArt Gallery their tutors are so passionate about art and helping children develop an appreciation of culture. Gallery tours help children develop both a positive attitude to learning and help nurture the creativity that we passionately believe each child has.

​

The AfriArt Gallery Team specifically meets the needs of every child ensuring there is a mix of listening, interaction, and knowledge gathering. Above all, they want children to have an experience that shows them learning can be fun.  The team is so inspiring to our children!
