In rural Uganda extreme poverty is a reality. 90% of 10 year old children cannot read a simple sentence or do simple arithmetic. Primary schools are dilapidated. Parents keep their children at home to help with chores.

We support schools in ways that encourage parents to send their children to be educated.

Our Vision:

“Building a brighter future for Ugandan village children - TOGETHER”

When you give children access to quality education, you allow them to fulfil their potential.

Since 2009, we have been working in partnership with Heads, School Managements and a local NGO at village schools in Bugweri District providing support, advice and grants to fund a diverse range of projects including: provision of school meals, phonics teaching and literacy, malaria testing & treatment, healthcare and building classrooms, kitchens, libraries, fencing & toilet blocks.

At the heart of the work of RedEarth Village Schools is a commitment to village girls empowering and supporting them so they can thrive.

Empowering Girls in Uganda

90% of Ugandan village children are unable to read or understand a simple story at age 10. Schools receive little funding from government, buildings are dilapidated and classes have few resources. Village life is tough, crops are unreliable and children are hungry and malnourished.

Our Mission is to work with schools in the Bugweri District to fund projects that improve learning outcomes, vocational skills, health and nutrition, particularly for girls.

Through our work we contribute towards UN SDG4 – Quality Education for all.

How we empower girls in Uganda:

  • Sustainable feeding programmes enabling schools to grow their own food so that no child is hungry at school

  • Healthcare provided by a qualified professional at school

  • School buildings, desks, toilet blocks and educational resources that are fit for purpose

  • Phonics teaching throughout, a well stocked and staffed Literacy Hub - English is one of the official languages of Uganda

  • Attracting and retaining the best teachers and staff through training workshops, welfare, and microloans
