Agriculture remains the backbone of many rural communities in Uganda. Through our School Farming Program, learners acquire practical agricultural knowledge and life skills while appreciating the importance of food security and environmental sustainability.
Learners actively participate in crop production, vegetable gardening, and other agricultural activities appropriate to their age and ability. The program combines classroom learning with hands-on experience, enabling children to understand the value of agriculture as both a livelihood and a means of improving household nutrition.
The program aims to:
- Promote practical and vocational skills.
