At Backup Uganda, we believe that access to education is crucial, but not enough. Every child has unique learning needs that can and should be met. That is why we equip all stakeholders in Uganda’s education sector with the knowledge and the skills they need to make this happen.
“All along I didn’t know that I had a child with a disability in my home. Now I know that I have one.”
A parent at Cereleno Market in Gulu listened to our Every Child Can Learn podcast and realized that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to disability.
Our podcast playing sessions at public meeting places like markets raise awareness among parents and caregivers. They learn how to recognize signs of possible learning difficulties and disabilities among children, what to do to support their learning and where to look for more help.

Mr. Charles
Mathematics Teacher
Mr. Charles teaches mathematics at one of Backup Uganda’s partner schools. He shared his experience with figuring out how to help one of his pupils, whose performance had drastically deteriorated in class. After attending our progress tracking session, he shared:
“I didn’t know that it was possible to integrate the graph and tree tools to assess the learners’ performance in the classroom until today’s workshop. Initially, I thought it was impossible and I had to use one tool only.”
