Global Citizenship Education
The world is a global village and Tujifunze Africa understands this reality that is why it is integrating Global Citizenship Education in its programming. Global Citizenship Education equips young people with skills to develop the core competencies which enables them to actively and meaningfully engage with the world, and help to make it a more inclusive, just and sustainable one.
Inclusive Education
The organization is supporting children and youth with disabilities in Uganda to enroll, stay in school and complete through its scholarship programme. Many children in Uganda especially girls with disabilities are not able to access education due to factors not limited to poverty, lack of assistive devices, stigma to mention but a few.
Through fundraising and collaboration, we have been able to support children with disability with assistive technology; wheel chairs, hearing aids to enable them access school and learn effectively. Tujifunze Africa Foundation will continue to advocate for the right to inclusive education for every child and work towards Leaving No One Behind.
Education and Play
We recognize the role of play in enhancing learning for children especially in their young years. As an organization, we are running a project on equipping young people with skills of collaboration, team work, critical thinking through cricket. Girls with and without disability, and boys in school are trained to play cricket which sport has played a pivotal role in enhancing their physical, cognitive and holistic development.
Education and Play
Education Can not Wait estimates that 222 crisis- impacted children need educational support. The number increased from 75 million children in 2016 to 222. It further estimates that of the 222 million children and adolescents in need of education, 78.2 million are out of school, with over 120 million children in school but not achieving minimum proficiency in math and reading.
The report further indicates that 84% of the out of school crisis- impacted children are living in areas with protracted crises. Tujifunze Africa Foundation, through its sponsorship program is supporting children and youth in emergencies to access education, one child at a time.
