Build Resource Centre for 4000 children in Kibuli

As the year comes to an end, we hope that you are doing well and finding reasons to be grateful.

Once again, we are glad to share some updates regarding the Angaza Resource Centre (ARC), the baby we have carried, together.

On July 1st, we celebrated the ARC's first anniversary! This is a huge feat that we do not take for granted, at all.

This momentous occasion highlighted how far we have come in our mission to provide quality education for underpriveleged children. It has been an amazing journey, and we couldn't have done it without the incredible teamwork espoused by our community. Together, we have weathered the storms and celebrated the milestones, always pushing forward with dedication and passion. Even when we fall, we know we shall eventually get back up.

At a glance, the Resource Centre currently works with 4 partner schools and engages 214 learners on a weekly basis. 35 teachers have received training in phonics and Early Childhood Development  while 10 others are receiving training in computer literacy.

Seeing the impact made through the centre; the curious learners, empowered teachers and the dreams we've ignited - has been the greatest reward.

We are deeply grateful to be living in this significant purpose. 

In July, we also entered into a collaborative partnership with Booked!—an organisation which operates a mobile library serving schools in underserved communities. The ARC is proud to serve as a liaison point for Booked! to lend books to our partner schools, increasing access to learning resources for the children we serve.

Additionally, we have successfully concluded our third holiday program this year, which continues to provide ICT and literacy classes for teenagers.  Beyond these core subjects, students also engaged in interactive learning sessions that enhanced critical thinking, confidence-building, word games, and more. 

4040 is currently gearing up for one of our major fundraising events, set for Friday, 4th October 2024.The fundraiser will feature an exciting quiz competition, karaoke, board games, and music hosted at Tales bar and Lounge, Bukoto. If you are in Kampala on that day, please plan to join us.

All proceeds will be used to purchase additional chairs for the ARC, enabling us to accommodate more children in our programs. 

As always, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to YOU. Your contributions have been instrumental in helping us realise our vision of bridging educational gaps for vulnerable children.

We look forward to creating greater impact together.

Thank you for being part of this journey to create positive change.
