Activities under this programme are aimed at increasing equitable access to quality education to orphans and other vulnerable children through sponsorship schemes at pre – primary level, primary, secondary, tertiary and vocational skills training.

Save African child Uganda (S.A.C.U) established a Kindergarten and primary school for children known has Sacu nursery & primary school in September 2010. Children under this school are supported to socialize and attain basic concepts within their level of understanding.                       All children at Sacu nursery & primary school receive free education uniform every year, stockings, clothes, shoes, scholastic materials, two meals a day, free medication and much more.

Save African child Uganda has it in plan to establish a one model community based ECD center (satellite). The work began with one classroom construction, one pit-latrine, one teacher bedroom and the shelter accompanied with animals

shelters.                                        We hope next year to build more three class room where by each will cost $8000. Without the help of well wishers, sponsors and donor, this will not happen.

The ECD center we have in plan will comprise of   200 seats capacity mall hall to be used

as prayers’ chapel and dinning, a clinic, more three modern  toilets, children hostels for

boarding scholars,  sports centers with various play materials and a resting room. A total

of 300 children are envisaged to benefit from the ECD center. This project is intended to

help OVC’s to access early childhood learning and stimulation thereby improving their

physical, emotional and cognitive development, which prepares them for primary levels.

This year children’s being in the centers has given the caregivers ample time to engage in

other productive activities at home. In this light, after the three year period of their infant

level (Baby, middle and Top class);

b) Primary level. (P1-P7)                                                                                                                                                                                          Also pupils in primary schools are supported with free education, two meals a day, medication scholastic materials which include; school uniforms, exercise books, pens, pencils, mathematical sets, calculators and shoes to the very needy children. This is an effort by S.A.C.U to complement government program of free UPE to all children including the OVC. Strategies to empower families of OVC in order to be able to meet their education needs will be enhanced in the future for sustainability. At sacu next year we shall be having a new class (primary five) where p.4 classroom children have been promoted to.  

Proscovia Nakyeyune( in the orange dress bellow ) is being sponsored by Sacu at Mulago school for the deaf located in Kampala the capital city of Uganda. She is performing well depending on her academic reports. She has been promoted to p.4 class.

Nansamba Madinah is another child enjoying the sponsorship programs of Sacu organization.                                                                                 She was promoted to primary six at Jinja centre school located in Jinja town.                                                                                                             Her performance is much better than before.

Save African child Uganda has it in plan to introduce more vocational program so that children can attain knowledge and skills in computer application. Efforts are underway and S.A.C.U will train more children vocational skills in attempts to increase their income-generating prowess. We hope next year to train children various skills such as quilting, tailoring, computer training, card-making and bakery. This will result into a number of children getting employment in the future.

d) Tertiary level (Higher institutions of learning) Under this section, S.A.C.U intends to support OVC’s with intellectual ability to attain professional skills for self reliance and support for other siblings in need. The students supported under this scheme are expected to support and reach out to other orphans and vulnerable children when they complete their studies.                                                                                                                    Namiro Hasifah in the picture aside is the only student currently benefiting in Sacu children sponsorship program of higher institutions of learning.
