  • Rare sighting of Ugandan school children NOT in uniform! Each Saturday, dozens of schools across the country that are supported by ChildFund hold a special remediation session reinforcing literacy and numeracy skills in underprivileged communities where children have fallen behind. ChildFund assists in these sessions by providing breakfast and textbooks for students, as well as training and extra Saturday wages for instructors.
