School on Wheels
Our organisation UgandaUK Convention (UCUK) promotes social inclusion and development of those most excluded from society.
About the School on Wheel Project
A bus remodelled to become a mobile classroom for children with no access to school facilities in slums of Kampala.
Our aim is to help children and families progress from poverty to prosperity. We plan to do this by partnering with local organizations that improve access to education, and job skills training. And support initiatives that improve communities and foster an environment where change is possible.
Many Children from Different parts of Uganda like Karamoja, Northern Uganda which has had a civil war for the last 25yrs, travel to Kampala Hoping for a better life ,reach the capital city Kampala and find life the opposite of what they Expected ending up in the city slums, uneducated, child bride, exposed to Drugs, targeted as sex workers, raped and exposed to HIV/AIDS and have turned to fetching water and wood rather than learning to Read and Write and many Girls bear children while they are still children themselves. Uganda is missing out on a tremendous Economic opportunity for change. Educated Children in these Urban slums of Katanga and Kivulu can break the cycle of poverty in these Slums.
