The Projects You Will Visit In Uganda
Edukid has been working in Uganda since 2009 to help children access their right to an education. We help support school fees and school resources such as uniforms, stationary and books.
However, access to education is not enough. Additional barriers must be broken down to allow students to thrive. All of the projects we run link directly to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG’s) such as water, gender and sustainable energy. You can read more about our work below.
