Transform Schools for Young Learners in Uganda

In many parts of Uganda, education is a lifeline—a child’s best chance at breaking free from the cycle of poverty. Yet, for thousands of children, the very places meant to shape their future are failing them.

Imagine walking into a classroom with cracked walls, a leaking roof, and barely enough desks for students to sit. Many children squat on the floor, sharing tattered books, while teachers struggle to provide lessons with outdated materials and no proper resources. When it rains, learning comes to a halt because the classrooms flood, books get soaked, and children shiver in the cold.

For these young minds, school is not just a place of learning - it is a beacon of hope. But how can they dream of a brighter future when their learning environment is broken, unsafe, and uninspiring?

We Can Change This Story

At Young Eye Foundation, we are committed to transforming four schools we co-own and support into safe, inspiring, and well-equipped learning spaces. Through this campaign, we are raising funds to:

1. Renovating classrooms - ensuring they are spacious, well-lit, and safe for learning for the children.

2. Provide desks, chairs, and books - so no child has to study on the floor, but feels comfortable and thus empowered to study.

3. Improve sanitation and access to clean water - keeping children healthy and in school.

4. Create play and creative spaces - because education is more than just books, we want to support co-curricular activities.

For the past 5 years, Young Eye Foundation has worked to uplift early childhood education in Uganda by providing:

The Young Eye Bursary, supporting children who can’t afford school fees with a 50% bursary for the entire academic year.

Donations of Scholastic Materials, so every child has the tools to learn.

Teacher Training on the effective use of limited resources to improve classroom experiences and their sustainability.

Infrastructure Development, because learning needs a strong foundation in good environments.
