In rural areas of Masindi district, as in other rural areas in Uganda, access to quality education is severely limited. Many children attend overcrowded and under-resourced schools, which presents a significant barrier to learning and development, leaving many children without the skills and knowledge they need for a better future.
The primary challenges include inadequate infrastructure, a shortage of trained teachers and limited access to educational materials. These issues contribute to high dropout rates and poor academic performance. Additionally, the socio-economic conditions in the area often force children to prioritise labour over education, further hindering their opportunities for growth.

Project content
The Aliguma Foundation has already built a well-equipped, safe and modern nursery and primary school, and is now providing educational materials for students as well as training and resources for teachers to help them provide quality instruction and support student learning. The foundation adopts a hands‑on, skill‑based and talent-driven approach to education, with sport and other extracurricular activities integrated into the curriculum. In addition, the local community is engaged in the school’s development and maintenance, which helps to foster a sense of ownership of the facilities and responsibility for the education of younger generations.
