Reading 2

The Children Reading Camp Concept, We believe that if we can help children to learn reading and words, their meanings and how to use them in sentences, then they will be able to understand concepts better and therefore pass standardized exams and be able to stay in school longer. 

Our desire is to create a learning environment for our children as well as give them an opportunity to dream.

We do this through providing them with reading spaces that have our set of fully illustrated positive reading, around the values of Character, Responsibility, Excellence, Empathy Discipline and Leadership.

We believe that words change the world, and through an exposure to reading, they will be able to increase their reading skills on one hand, while on the other hand, the words will enable them develop a positive attitude towards life, that they will need as they grow. 

Thank you to our partners for making the Children Reading Camp a success

Reading

For the last 5 years, we have grown in breadth, going from a pilot of 5 schools in 2018, altogether, having reached more than 10 schools and impacting well over 1000 children across different communities and primary schools in Kampala. In these years and with this growth we have learnt so much, gained a fair understanding of what the main challenges are.

We have created interventions to respond to some of these challenges, Like creating partnership with authors of children’s books, improving children’s libraries, organizing book week in schools and creating reading spaces, Children Reachout Uganda continues to grow and this creates demand for expansion to more communities and schools.

We shall continue in  investing more in improving children’s libraries, creating reading spaces and partnerships with other like-minded organizations

We shall also continue our campaign and efforts to get more books into the hands of Ugandan children, helping them to learn to read so they can read to learn.

None of this would be possible without our incredible community of friends and partners

Children Reading Camp

READING CAMP – Read to Lead 

We believe that children can only reach their full potential if they learn how to read and comprehend what they read. In order to succeed in life, every child should ideally finish school with a lifelong love of reading and the necessary literacy skills. We implement this through our major programs, Reading Camps, School Book Week and other Reading Initiatives.

Nutrition Program

We started this Nutrition Program after noticing that many children were coming to our centers Hungry because they had not had Breakfast or had to walked a distance to the center and needed more sustenance to keep them going throughout the day. The Nutrition Program has proved hugely popular and effective with many children turning up for after school catch up classes for reading, writing, counting, speaking and computer skills. Today we had a surprise visit from one of our partners #AparFoundation who brought breakfast for 220 children. #Milk #Bread #QueenCake 

Children with Special Needs

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) recognizes the human rights of all children, including those with disabilities. Children with disabilities encounter different forms of exclusion and are affected by them to varying degrees depending on the type of disability they have, where they live and the culture or class to which they belong. Children with disabilities are often regarded as inferior, and this exposes them to increased vulnerability. Discrimination against and exclusion of children with disabilities renders them disproportionately vulnerable to violence, neglect and abuse. 

About Me

I started a Children organization,  To focus on supporting Children through Literacy Education, Nutrition, Child Protection, Education Support.

I provide all kinds of resources to educate and transform children and their families.

I truly believe Every Child Deserves a strong start- the best chance for a successful future.

But many children right here in Uganda aren't getting the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Together we can change this, 

My aim is to contribute measurably to helping children enjoy Good Health, be Educated and Protected

Creative Thinking

Today we started another program which focuses on creating and thinking critically – one of the characteristics of effective teaching and learning, so crucial to early learning.

Children can be able to freely explore their ideas, and seek confidence in providing these opportunities, as well as challenging their own creative thinking. This program gives them a wonderful opportunity to delve deeper into creative thinking and learning and examine what it means in practice. Results can strongly impact children and their communities.

Creativity is mainly about finding alternative possibilities of how to come up with new and useful ideas. A new idea might be a new theory, product, solution to a problem, story or conception for a piece of art.
