Struggles to provide quality education

Uganda’s school system has struggled to provide quality education for their younger generation. Only 1 in 4 children who begin primary school will make it to secondary school*. Less than half (40 percent) of these students are literate by the end of primary school*.

One of EACO’s goals is to provide primary education for all children as well as literacy for all adults and children. This is completed through the Education and Capacity Building program which includes:

[ ] Literacy for adults and children
[ ] Primary education for all children
[ ] Leadership development
[ ] Community development and leadership training in the field of social welfare
