This sample proposal is about a project that seeks to provide children and youth with the skills they need for sustainable engagement in their environment. This can be achieved by educating them on life-long values, like responsibility or resilience; key competencies such as leadership abilities which are necessary when leading others towards a common vision; and environmentally aware attitudes that will help shape future decision-makers.”
The Project Proposal
Problem Statement
Uganda is a country in East Africa bordered by the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and South Sudan. It’s home to Lake Victoria as well as being enclosed within The Nile River Basin which makes up about half its territory – this means that Uganda has some great geographical features! With an estimated population size right now at 45+ million people (world bank 2020), 8 5 thousand occur solely within Kampala where you will find most government offices plus the largest city status awarded because there are more than twice what’s required just living inside boundaries without considering surrounding areas
Uganda has faced many conflicts within the country along with a long-held military dictatorship. This caused fluctuating state which led to problems, especially for people living in poverty who are at risk of being hit by droughts since their economy depends mostly on agriculture but this makes them susceptible when there’s not enough rain leading up command tends to increase instances rates high levels infant mortality rate among other things resulting from lack sustainable growth patterns due poor social cohesion combined together creating resilience capacities building block needed before recovery can begin.
Street children in Uganda are faced with many challenges. They may be taken advantage of by adults who offer them food or shelter, and if not then the risk for abuse is high since these kids lack access to public services like health care which make it difficult for this population member to function normally within society as productive members. As seen through the research on Street Children worldwide there seems never-ending problem that needs solving – how can we help these vulnerable adolescents succeed?
Education is a powerful tool that can help disadvantaged children to become economically independent. ABC Organization would like contribute by establishing community schools that provide basic education and skills for the poor, so they will not be dependent on government aid or other outside sources forever.
The new facility aims at enhancing productivity among young learners by providing them with access both indoors as well outdoors during their childhood years while also teaching life lessons about ambition aspire responsibility etc.. These include: becoming literate; complementing poverty eradication efforts done countrywide & internationally.
The Proposed Project
The ABC Organization has proposed to set up a primary and secondary school in the district around 20-22 km out of the capital Kampala City. The overall aim is to educate children/youth so they can be equipped with life skills, competencies & attitudes which will enable them to harness sustainable engagement for earning living while contributing meaningfully to the country’s development; but more importantly, it’ll enhance students’ capacity know God’s word.
The organization has the vision to build an eco-friendly children’s village where they can provide these vulnerable kids with everything from education and vocational training. They plan on setting up primary schools, secondary schools as well as medical clinics within the site so that all members of our community are able to achieve their full potential in life!
The project will also include food products which help teach valuable skills while nourishing those living there – it doesn’t get much more empowering than this.
Project Objectives
- Establish a community school cum residential facility for street/disadvantaged children
- Spread awareness and motivate parents in target locations on the importance of children’s education and skill development
- Provide free education and vocational skill to disadvantaged children
- To facilitate and develop a model of child-friendly education system and to create interest amongst the children towards the formal education system
- Create a participatory model of community schooling by integrating the existing education/ school and support systems.
Project Beneficiaries
With this project, we aim to provide education for 400-500 children in deprived areas. We plan on primarily targeting those who are homeless or living below the poverty level; these individuals may not always have access to formal schooling because their parents cannot afford it so they end up becoming marginalized members of society similar to if been sexually exploited themselves due lack of opportunity which leads them into illegal activities such criminals behavior later down life cycle begins at an early age
The Organization would like to contribute to enhancing the productivity of young people through the construction of community schools to provide basic education and skills to the poor people
The organization will provide a day and boarding pre-primary, primary and secondary school. Later on the organization will introduce vocational skills training like; agricultural production, computer literacy, tailoring, catering, art and craft, weaving, and others as the market may demand.
The proposed school will be located in ABC District. As a means of building synergy and optimizing resources, the ABC organization will work closely with other agencies that are already grounded in the development of the country.
This proposal provides an assessment of the need for educational training in Uganda and the specific intervention ABC organization would like to make through the establishment of a school and the approach to implementation of the school project.
We also plan to have four other schools within Area name1, Area name2, Area 3, and Area4 where we will be able to help many children from poor rural areas and inner-city slums who would normally be denied the opportunity of an education.
Through the project, organization aims at:
- Setting up an ultra-modern and well equipped school in ABC district
- Providing quality education to the youth.
- Improving the country’s capacity to reach and effectively contribute to the creation of a well-trained human resource, essential for development.
- Promoting self-employment.
Project Rationale
The school will address a wide range of needs and interests of both the community and children. These include: becoming literate, complementing poverty eradication efforts of the central Government, local Governments and the communities themselves by teaching the children to become financially literate and teaching them practical skills.
The organization will help people through its poverty reduction initiatives by complementing poverty eradication efforts of the Central Government, Local Governments and the communities themselves. ABC organization’s activities are in the areas of education, helping people access and demand for health and education services, and community empowerment. The organization targets/ beneficiaries are children, youth. The organization will endeavor to achieve this through educating the children, community empowerment for social and economic development.
Parents are willing to accept this project as their own project and that is why a hundred percent participation from the community members is now the asset of this project.
With endless efforts organization is willing to succeed in making the community members understand that education is the right of every child and that is why children are not for schools rather schools are meant for their education. So if they are unable to reach to school then school will reach to them.
The ABC organization assumes that more than 400 students are going to be mainstreamed within 2 years. Organization will prove its credibility in community based education.
The students of school will be acting as role models for other non-school going children of the community.
