Special Educational Needs (SEN) Support Programme

Children with disabilities are often neglected. And many of the parents just "dump" their children in schools expecting schools to cater for all their needs including feeding and academic. Sadly all the available SEN schools are public schools with very little government support.
For most parents of these affected children, education is not a need. So many of them are denied that opportunity to to to school.

The Programme focuses on:
1). Promotion of inclusive education
2)). Ensuring adequate staffing for the SEN department
3). The welfare of children with disabilities in target schools (health, hygiene, social welfare and general protection)
4). Support with assistive devices where possible
5). Support with instructional and scholastic materials e.g. for the blind

Toilet/ VIP latrine construction Programme

This is a Programme under the WASH strategy where our mission is to ensure all target schools have decent and efficient toilets/ latrines for both learners and staff, as hygiene and sanitation are a key priority area of School Aid Project Uganda.

While the standard latrine-pupil ratio is 1:45 , the current situation according to our study reveals that in some schools the ratio stretches even up to 1:100 (1 latrine stance being shared by 100 learners).

In some schools, teachers share toilets with learners.

Meanwhile, in some schools, learners keep sneaking into latrines that were condemned, risking being buried in them. These facilities were condemned because of assessed risks of collapsing on the users.

Classroom Supplies Support Programme

With our central mission of helping to improve learning environments in schools for better learning outcomes, SAP -Uganda has a Programme of furnishing schools with classroom supplies for enhanced learning. Some of these may include desks, instructional materials, and appropriate teaching/learning aids.
While the standard desk-pupil ratio is 1:3, there are cases where we have 1:6 (1desk : 6pupils). This certainly affects learning outcomes.

Currently many schools don't have the right instructional materials (textbooks, chalkboard tools, and the like), and most of them do not have visual tools like the globe, and relevant maps.

At the same time, while their counterparts are using personal laptops and tablets, some do not have even a single desk computer in their schools. So they are always disadvantaged. And it is in this regard that School Aid Project aims to help improve the situation by helping the disadvantaged schools acquire some of these tools. This is one way to fight inequalities in the Ugandan education sector

Programme for Environmental Protection

This is a Programme intended to foster the planting of trees in schools in line with the global need to conservative the environment and also teach learners to appreciate the value of trees. This is the secret behind the Green Revolution Project

SAP -Uganda has a target of planting more than 50,000 trees by 2030 in Jinja schools through the Green Revolution project.

With the revitalization of the industrialization of Jinja, lots of trees have been destroyed to supply wood fuel for factories such as the steel rolling plants which consume much energy. Such factories find wood fuel cheaper than electricity and so they would rather source wood fuel from the neighborhood, at the expense of the environment!

High industrial growth has also created high demand for building poles and timber, also exerting pressure on the available trees. Consequently, the local climate has been compromised with increasing dry spells, and destruction of natural habitats and reserves for a variety of fauna and floral species.
