\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSapphire Africa Foundation has been a strong advocate of education for all in Uganda and\nthrough the many communities we serve. Our aim is to help all children get access to education\nincluding disabled children and other marginalized groups of people.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMany of our children go to Sseganga Primary School in Wakiso district and we have done a lot\nto see the improvement of this school in structure, education standard, remuneration of\nteachers, the welfare of children and so much more all geared towards good education results.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSseganga has a total enrolment of 500 students and most students who go there are from the\ncommunities where people walk as far as 10 kilometers to reach this school in Sseganga.\n\nBefore we started our education program in Sseganga, the enrolment was as low as 97 Children\nin total but through our Give a Hope Program and other family sensitization programs we\nmanaged to get many parents and children interested in Education and since then the numbers\nhave been growing.\nSapphire Africa Foundation attempted to build a structure at Sseganga Primary School,\nhowever we were unable to complete it due to a lack of funding. This would be a game-changer\nin many ways, including the enrollment of kids, the alleviation of traffic, the boarding area for\ncandidate classes, and the creation of a Hall that would facilitate our training and awareness-\nraising efforts in the community.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBefore Tim Gillen passed away, we had already completed half of the structure. Tim greatly\nassisted us in reaching this admirable level since he consistently made available the monies we\nrequired at the time. We are pleading with all contributors and backers to assist us with this\nmassive endeavor so that we can complete the final Phases of roofing and finishing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen we started the main hall in Sseganga, we had seen and analyzed the need, since many\npupils wouldn\u2019t fit in the few available classrooms and even administrators and teachers had no\noffice to perform their duties, a big number of children dropped out of school for walking to\nschool and yet not attending a lesson. When Covid 19 came, it further escalated the problem of\na lack of classrooms mostly when the pupils were told to social distance. This meant that there\nwas no space for many pupils and this is where a significant number of pupils dropped out of\nschool and became teenage mothers, we have highlighted that story on our website too.\nBy finishing up this building, we are looking at:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
