Approximately 80% of children are unable to access quality education due to various socio-economic and systemic barriers. Despite initiatives aimed at increasing enrollment rates, barriers such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient learning resources, period poverty, shortage of trained educators and inclusive
practices that cater to the diverse needs of all children continue to hinder the delivery of inclusive and equitable education.

Children with disabilities, girls, and those from low-income backgrounds face significant barriers that limit their access to and success in educational settings. This inequity is exacerbated by factors such as poverty, cultural attitudes, and insufficient inclusive infrastructure. As a result, a large proportion of Ugandan children are deprived of the opportunity to develop critical skills, resulting in limited future prospects, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality thus undermining the overall social and economic development of the country.

Imagine the biggest percentage of the population being uneducated, unskilled and unemployable in the future.

Art of a Child’s goal is to create a world where every child receives the care, support, and opportunities needed to thrive, breaking the cycle of deprivation and enabling all young people to become active contributors to their communities
