In the Teso sub-region of Uganda, many children are growing up without the chance to go to school. Most of these children come from families struggling with poverty, while others have lost one or both parents. For them, education is a dream they can only watch from afar. This project, led by Children’s Light of Teso Foundation (CLTF), seeks to build a free primary school combined with a small technical training center that will offer both academic and practical education. The aim is to create a place where orphans and poor children can study, learn skills, and develop confidence in themselves.

The school will provide quality education for children who have been left behind due to financial challenges. Many of these children stay home or end up doing small labor jobs to help their families survive. Some are raised by grandparents who cannot even afford school uniforms, let alone school fees. The project’s vision is to bring hope and light back into these children’s lives through education that is free, inclusive, and skill-based.

This school will not only focus on classroom learning but also introduce practical training in areas like tailoring, carpentry, and small-scale farming. Such skills will help learners become self-reliant and break the cycle of poverty. We believe that every child, no matter their background, has a right to learn, grow, and live a meaningful life. The Children’s Light of Teso Foundation School will be a place of transformation — giving orphans and poor children the opportunity to build a brighter future for themselves and their community.
