Welcome to KESSD's "School for Street Children" program. At the heart of our mission is the belief that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their circumstances. In Kampala, many children find themselves on the streets, facing challenges that hinder their access to basic education and opportunities for a better life. Our program is designed to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive educational pathway that spans from primary to tertiary levels.
The School for Street Children is more than just a place of learning; it’s a sanctuary where children who have been marginalized by society can find hope, security, and a path forward. We understand that education is the foundation for a brighter future, and our curriculum is tailored to meet the diverse needs of these children. From foundational literacy and numeracy in primary school to more advanced academic subjects in secondary school, and finally, specialized training in tertiary education, we ensure that each child receives the tools and knowledge they need to succeed.
Beyond academics, our school emphasizes the development of life skills, emotional resilience, and ethical values. We aim to nurture well-rounded individuals who are not only educated but also empowered to contribute positively to their communities. We provide mentorship, counselling, and extracurricular activities that foster creativity, teamwork, and leadership. The holistic approach ensures that our students are prepared to face the challenges of the future with confidence.
The ultimate goal of the School for Street Children is to break the cycle of poverty and marginalization. By equipping these children with education and skills, we give them the power to transform their lives and, in turn, contribute to the sustainable development of Kampala. Whether they go on to higher education, vocational training, or enter the workforce, they leave our program with the knowledge that they can shape their own destinies.
We invite you to join us in this transformative journey. Whether through volunteering, donations, or partnerships, your support can help us expand our reach and impact more lives. Together, we can create a future where every child in Kampala has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
