Newsletters - Education and the Famiily

 

Uganda

Although education has now been in Uganda for over a century, it is a more treasurable commodity in Africa than anything one could imagine in this world. Education was introduced in Uganda by the early Anglican missionaries. The formal education was categorised into three: 1. Religion; 2. Reading; 3. Writing; -the three “Rs”.

Since then, the education system in Uganda has been revolutionised. Today, we have several educational institutions all over the country. Many are founded on the Anglican faith, while others are of government and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Many are too expensive to attend, for a child who is a beginner pays over £85 a term.

One of the many NGOs in Uganda involved in active education is Buddu Social Development Association (BUSODA). BUSODA has established over 20 educational centres in Uganda to provide basic education to the most needy rural children, the majority AIDS orphans. Education in Uganda is nowadays an expensive commodity. BUSODA, to continue our humanitarian educational struggles, relies on faithfuls like those reading this to support us financially.
