The Building Tomorrow Fellows program continues to grow in size and in impact. Ten new fellows were selected to the program in January to be trained and deployed as community education workers who catalyze systemic change across rural Uganda's public education system by strengthening school leadership and the human capacity of teachers. Throughout their two-year fellowship, the Fellows will work alongside head teachers and the local community to draft and implement a school improvement plan aimed at developing a quality school environment.
Along with last year's cohort of ten Building Tomorrow Fellows, the 2016 Fellows, who began the community immersion process in February, enrolled 2,236 previously out-of-school students into school, many for the first time ever, in the first few months of this year alone. One especially bright spot in the already shining Fellows program was Ruth Kobusinge, who singlehandedly enrolled 45 students through personally communicating the importance of education for children to members of the community.
We are extremely proud of all the great work our Fellows are doing to help build tomorrows, and we thank you for your support of them and our vision of a world where every child with a desire to learn has a safe, permanent and local place to do so.
Keep Building!
