Education — No Child Left Behind

No Child Left Behind

Education is at the heart of Light For All Uganda’s work with Burundian children and young refugees in Uganda. No Child Left Behind is a child sponsorship programme based on the model of one child and one sponsor. Its aim is to make access to education sustainable for children and young people whose families cannot meet school costs.

For many refugee families, the cost of education is more than parents can afford. Some can cover only part of the expense; others cannot contribute at all. Sponsorship helps children return to school and gives young people an opportunity to continue their education.

A foundation for the future

Light For All sees school as a place where refugee children and young people can find normality and develop their potential. Access to learning, literacy and essential life skills can help them build a stronger future for themselves, their families and their communities.

Our approach is guided by ubuntu: a belief in solidarity, shared responsibility and a society where no one is left behind. We bring sponsors and communities together around a child’s opportunity to learn.
