EarlyBird256 is dedicated to improving the health and wellness of young girls in Uganda - equipping them with the knowledge and resources they need to become strong women. We do this by securing scholarships for students, as well creating our own programs that provide free breakfast, tutoring, and creative arts. We want students to have a safe space to freely express themselves, heal and learn how to love and care for themselves and their communities.
We partner with schools and organizations in communities that suffer from high rates of school dropouts. In Kamuli, the community where EarlyBird256 is based, seven out of every 10 children under five years old do not have birth certificates, which leads them vulnerable to violations such as child marriage, child labor, and recruitment to armed forces. Two out of every 25 children under the age of 18 are orphans, and one out of 15 girls aged 12-17 years is forced into a marriage union. As for ed
We believe that amazing things happen when girls are educated and learn the power of their voices. we have managed to secure a partnership with Busoga High School, a local school in Eastern Uganda. The school has agreed to a tuition-matching program for EarlyBird students, meaning they will cover 50% of each student's fees. If we can keep these children in school and make sure they don't need to learn on an empty stomach, then we can give them the power to change their communities for the better
Education is the key that will empower the children of Kamuli to positively change their lives and communities. In addition to keeping the children in school, we provide a safe space for them to learn and express themselves. Our programs empower them through art, sports, and education, while our workshops help the children and their parents learn valuable entrepreneurial skills. Our Porridge Program that provides free breakfast to ensure that students are not learning on empty stomachs.
