Equip Ugandan kids with Literacy, Numeracy Skills.

Summary

This project provides primary school learners with access to a Mobile Digital Learning Lab equipped with tablets preloaded with comprehensive literacy and numeracy apps and resources. A modified tricycle motorcycle transports the lab, visiting each participating school weekly. Learners benefit from foundational skills instruction through digital and print materials, helping them catch up with their peers. This initiative aims to enhance educational outcomes and bridge the learning gap.

Challenge

In sub-Saharan Africa, 89% of children cannot read simple stories. Specifically, 68% of Ugandan primary school learners lacked the combined literacy and numeracy grade level competence in 2021. Kizza, a learner who started school at age 10 with no prior education, struggled to catch up.Traditional instruction wasn't enough, but with tailored remedial support and tablet-based learning tools, Kizza made remarkable progress. These digital resources made literacy and numeracy skills more engaging

Solution

The Mobile Digital Learning Lab, equipped with tablets preloaded with literacy, numeracy, and digital skills apps, provides tailored, engaging instruction to 500 learners. These interactive tools help struggling students grasp concepts through fun, personalized activities. By offering support beyond traditional classroom methods, the project enhances learning outcomes and builds essential digital skills, empowering students to thrive academically and in their future careers.

Long-Term Impact

This project will benefit 500 learners by improving literacy, numeracy, and digital skills through tailored, interactive instruction. By closing learning gaps, the project builds confidence and academic competence, preparing learners for future educational success and employment opportunities. These foundational skills will help learners transition through educational levels, contributing to a more educated and skilled community, ultimately breaking cycles of poverty.
