Education For All In Uganda

At Another Hope Children’s Ministries, the right to education entails an inclusive and holistic approach to education, as demonstrated in Article 26 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights: “Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms”. This year we are having 15 of our students sit for their final examination in the various levels of Education and one of those students is Julia (not really name) who is completing her first 4 years of High school.

As one of two young twins, Julia and her family struggled to survive in Uganda. There was little money for food and clothing, and no money for books or school supplies. But everything changed when Faith joined the family of Another Hope Children’s Ministries. Faith cherishes the relationship she has with her sponsors, and with their support, Julia is Julia s now currently in   Light College Katikamu   Secondary School where she is doing her final Uganda Certificate of Education exams and this is what she says about being in school.

“I feel very relieved when am at school because I always focus on what am doing in school than things at home. I know if I make myself think of home I will fortunately backslide .Attending school makes me feel my future because am working hard for it in order to be better and support myself but not to suffer. It’s a dream come true to study in a boarding school and it wouldn’t have been possible if Another Hope Children’s Ministries hadn’t believed in me.” Thank you so much Another Hope Children’s Ministries
