The School
We’ve met our Fundraising Goal and IREAD will begin building our We L.E.A.D. school in 2022. IREAD (IREAD.org), invests in and addresses early childhood education to reduce poverty and cultivate personal growth. To date, IREAD has built and maintains 21 schools in Uganda and Northern Pakistan with 8 more scheduled to open in 2021. They also work with local tradespeople from the villages for each project, creating local employment opportunities. To date, IREAD has impacted over 7,000 children and their families.
For more than a decade, Institute for Rural Education And Development (IREAD) has been unlocking the potential of Ugandan children aged 3 to 6. IREAD builds early childhood development centres (ECD Centres) and delivers early childhood education through a model that engages and draws on the strengths of the villagers. By the end of 2021, IREAD will have 16 ECD centres throughout Uganda.
IREAD’s 100% Promise means that every dollar raised will go to Uganda. This guarantee is made possible by the love and generosity of a Canadian private family foundation and the USA board of directors who cover all administrative costs associated with building the early childhood development centers.
