1. Project summary
Karamoja is an area in North Eastern Uganda with arid and semi – arid climate with cattle keeping as the main livelihood for the community. Recent data indicates that Karamoja has the lowest levels of education in the all of Uganda. KACHEP is one of the NGOs which has been sponsoring some vulnerable children to go for education from primary to tertiary levels. Each year we have been sponsoring 23 vulnerable children and 9 are now working.
2. Background, Problem and Opportunities
Karamoja is an area composed with a population of 920,000, but this area is the poorest among the poor ones in Uganda, with poverty indices of 65.5 % compared to other areas with 9.5% in Uganda. Education is very low and all facilities are poor. Parents can’t manage to pay fees from primary to tertiary. Therefore we would like to get support to sponsor primary children and equip them with education; this will also equip them with skills for their sustainability. (Education is an investment and consumption good).
More specifically the project will address the following key objectives:
• Build capacity of the Karamojong to manage themselves through technical and vocation education by the year 2013
• To educate a child and alleviate poverty in Karamoja for self sustainability (education for self sustenance)
• To emancipate the girl child through education, education will reduce child headed families and will make girls stay longer in schools
3. Technical Approach or Methodology
i. Payment of fees to primary school children
ii. Home visits to each family and school visits to each participating school (3xyear)
iii. Vocation and technical education
iv. Student retreats (Guidance and counseling)
4. Anticipated Results
- Development of Karamoja through improved education
- Improved standards of living as a result of employment due to education
- Poverty, ignorance, illiteracy levels and disease will reduce
This project will cost $350 per month for 24 students
By the year 2013 the total cost for primary children and also for vocation and technical education will be $12,600
