Nursery Programme

Uganda Hands for Hope hosts two nursery schools attended by more than 100 children on weekdays. The nurseries provide a safe place for the children to learn and play during the day, adding to their development and freeing up time for their parents to work or take care of the household. The children receive two meals a day and a good learning base from which to begin primary school. Our goal is to have all of our nursery children continue on to primary school with the help of their sponsors.

Starting school is a major life transition for any child and family. The child often feels anxious about what school might be like. There are many new relationships for the child to navigate and the environment at school is often quite different from that which they are used to. The Nursery Programme and the Afternoon Youth Programme at Uganda Hands for Hope help children and their parents prepare for this important change in their lives.
