This project builds on a community-established school in Tapac, Karamoja, to construct 5 permanent classrooms, establish an ECD centre with an outdoor play hub, hire 2 ECD teachers, and provide daily meals, improving learning, care and nutrition for 770 children (540 pupils, 230 aged 1-4).
In Tapac, Moroto District, 540 primary schoolchildren learn in overcrowded, deteriorating facilities, while 230 toddlers lack access to safe childcare, structured early learning, supervised play and adequate nutrition. Poverty and food insecurity force parents to prioritise survival, leaving young children vulnerable and older siblings burdened with caregiving responsibilities.
With USD 200,000, Nascent RDO-U will construct and equip five permanent classrooms, including a dedicated ECD centre and outdoor play hub for 230 toddlers. Two professional ECD teachers will provide early learning, stimulation and supervised play, while nutritious midday meals will support all 770 children. The integrated approach will improve safety, learning, nutrition and child development.
The project will improve school attendance, retention and academic progress for 540 pupils while nurturing the cognitive, social and emotional development of 230 toddlers, improving their school readiness. Access to supervised childcare will free older siblings to concentrate on learning and enable parents to pursue livelihoods. Ultimately, it will strengthen human capital, community resilience and pathways out of intergenerational poverty.
