On Thursday, April 30th, 2026, we are celebrating a massive step forward for the children of Uganda!
will officially launch the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) Policy 2025 at Nakivubo Blue Primary School. 🇺🇬🚀

By establishing a standardized, government-led framework for ECCE, we are laying the essential foundations. It's one of many vital steps to ensuring that every single Ugandan child is given the opportunity to grow, learn, and develop the fundamental ability to read and write.

We, like many of you, believe that when you get the beginning right, the future is limitless.

Collaboration knows no borders. 🇺🇬✨

Our team is in London for the happening this week. Our mission remains the same: to elevate the discourse around Early Childhood Development (ECD) and foster partnerships that drive systemic change in Uganda’s education sector.

We shall be engaging with the global community on the means and partnerships necessary to scale our impact and ensure every Ugandan child is met where they are.

Follow our journey this week as we push for a more literate and empowered future.

Building a solid foundation for a child’s education isn't a solo mission. While the journey begins at home, our educators are the vital guides who meet children exactly where they are.

When parents and teachers bridge the gap, the path to literacy and numeracy becomes clearer for every child. This week, we shine a light on the collaborative spirit that makes quality learning possible.
