Education Projects in Uganda

Jinja Education Project

In order for children and youth to reach their full potential and rise from the grip of poverty, education is paramount; however, many schools in Jinja lack the basic infrastructure for children to learn. The Jinja Education Project works with educators and communities to refurbish schools so children can access an education in a safe and well-equipped environment.

Volunteer opportunities: teaching, organizing recreational activities and after-school programs, assisting with necessary construction, painting, and refurbishment projects.
