Lack of Scholastic Materials Presents Barriers to Education

Love Circus Uganda supports street children, orphans, and school dropouts and helps them return to or stay in school. One barrier to consistent and effective school attendance is the cost of school materials. Lack of adequate materials, such as workbooks and writing supplies, undermines performance in schools and makes it difficult for teachers to provide thorough and effective instruction.

Access to Sufficient Materials Supports Learning

The donation, which was made through a partnership with All the Sky Foundation, was used for the purchase of scholastic and training materials, including books, mathematical sets, pens, pencils, and long rulers. These materials have supported the work of the teachers and prepared the students to engage effectively with their learning.
