CLEAN Africa - Community Level Environmental Awareness Network Foundation - Für ein nachhaltiges Africa!

Basic education for the children in Makulubita Sub-County, Luweero district in Uganda.

Aim and Goal of the Project:

Rebuild the existing primary schools (3) in Makulubita Sub-County and establish a vocational training centre.

Situation at Hand

Access to primary education is one of the Millennium Development Goals. CLEAN-Africa supports the people in Makulubita, Luweero district in Uganda and their children to obtain basic education and vocational training. So far there are 3 primary schools in Makulubita Sub-County (an area that was completely destroyed during the civil war of the 1980’S). These schools cannot be rebuilt by the parents because of the low economic status in this region (here an average family earns less than $ 1Dollar per month). There is a lack of teaching materials, trained teachers, and thus are less than 10% of the children go beyond the elementary schools.

Connection with other Projects:
