Afternoon Youth Programme

Our Afternoon Youth Programme is held three afternoons each week. It is centered on children aged 6 - 15 that are on our sponsorship waiting list and are not attending school. In the programme, the children learn basic reading and writing skills, as well as adjusting to classroom behaviour, and gaining access to the arts. In being a part of this programme, the children are placed in a positive and safe learning environment, freeing up time for their parents to work or take care of the household.

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.
