Challenge

In rural Uganda, access to quality education is limited, especially for orphaned and vulnerable children. Schools are often under-resourced, with overcrowded classrooms, untrained teachers, and few learning materials. Many families cannot afford fees, meals, or uniforms, and girls are especially at risk of dropping out. Without strong educational infrastructure, students are left unprepared for employment or further learning, trapping communities in cycles of poverty.

Solution

Nyaka builds and operates primary, secondary & vocational schools that offer high-quality education and holistic support. We provide trained teachers, nutritious meals, clean water, and school supplies. Our vocational program equips students with practical skills like carpentry, tailoring, and computing. Libraries, science and computer labs support learning and well-being. By addressing every barrier to education, Nyaka helps students succeed in school and prepare for meaningful futures.

Long-Term Impact

Nyaka's schools are building a generation of educated, skilled, and empowered young people. With a 99% school retention rate and pass rates above national averages, students are graduating ready for higher education, employment, or entrepreneurship. Many go on to become community leaders, and some even return to teach or work at Nyaka. By investing in strong schools and holistic learning, this program creates long-term opportunities that uplift entire families and communities.
