Uganda
Nearly 80% of Uganda’s population are under 30 and have little access to quality secondary education.
In 2008 we built our first school in Uganda. We now have 30 schools, serving over 16,500 students from rural communities across 23 districts in Uganda. Using this experience, we are supporting 215 partner schools and are working closely with the Ministry of Education to strengthen the wider education system.
We are proud that multiple external evaluations show:
PEAS students come from poorer households, they start further behind and make faster learning progress. They feel safer, get better exam results, and are better equipped for life after school. We achieve this at a lower cost than government schools.
PEAS Uganda has been partnering with the Ugandan Ministry of Education since 2019.
We are working with them to make long-term improvements in government schools to transform the wider national education system.
Drawing on our experience running schools, we’ve supported the Ministry to equip school leaders with the skills and support they need to address issues of poor management, ineffective teaching, and unsafe learning environments.
To date, 218,000 students in 215 rural partner schools have been impacted. By the end of 2026, we expect to see improvements in learning outcomes and enrolment for almost half a million students in schools across Uganda.
Our program aims to equip school leaders with the skills and support needed to make long-term improvements, both in their schools and the wider system.
