BWAM Project

BWAM is part of the solution to unemployment among the youth in Masaaba region.

A study carried out in 2017 & 2018 by the ministry of Education and Sports and Elevate- an education NGO, established that 80,000 learners in Universal Primary Education schools in Uganda drop out of school every year. Uganda is hence grappling with large drop out

numbers across the education cycle starting from primary and stretching to secondary school.

Masaaba sub-region like several others in Uganda & the sub-Saharan faces major challenges

in providing quality & accessible basic education to children & adolescents.

Many do not complete their schooling nor have the competencies needed succeed in life.

According to UNICEF- Uganda Annual report 2019, only 1 in 4 children who start primary school make it to secondary school.

The quality of education & capacity to support learning in Uganda is variable, influenced by the location on the rural-urban continuum, differences between sub-regions & the have / have-nots.
