Education
Our education program includes Shine Preparatory School, where we support vulnerable children through access to quality learning and life-changing opportunities. We also offer work-skilling initiatives to equip them with practical skills for self-reliance and a brighter future.
Shine Preparatory School
PARC-Uganda operates and manages its own school and supports other existing educational establishments (both public and private schools) working together with the local community to improve, consolidate and monitor educational opportunities. Our school double to also provide safer space for after school tutoring (AST) and functional adult literacy (FAL) classes. This integrated educational program will help children and their families to overcome emotional burdens and strengthen their self-esteem.
Alternative Education
Due to high unemployment rates, social norms and low education levels, the employment opportunities for women are limited. Most of these women lack collateral, steady employment and credit history, so they do not qualify for access to banking or traditional loans.
Many children drop out of school after losing a parent(s) or enduring violent atmospheres, or due to other reason. If a girl gets pregnant before finishing school, she is most likely not allowed to finish the studies and will, therefore drop out. She will struggle to get a job, so she can’t create an income.
Supporting Vulnerable Children
PRAC-Uganda takes a holistic, HYBRID approach to support vulnerable children, their families and communities. Using an innovative model of fee-paying children to subsidize the school operation costs, we are providing FREE quality education and skill training opportunities to orphans and needy children and getting them to safety, thus saving them from child labor and early -forced marriage.
