BRIEF BACKGROUND OF THE COUNTRY LIGHTS ACADEMY

Over the past 6 years, the organization has been reaching out to Luwero district through missionary work. Luwero district is on the poorest districts in Uganda with 80% unemployed people leaving with their children.

Research has been made and found that 75% of the families survive on one meal a day worth 1 dollar.

The education of 78% of the children is this district is not favorable since most parents/ guardians are unemployed, hence unable to acquire excellent academic atmosphere schools in Uganda.

In 2019, the organization came up with an idea of starting up an excellent Academic school Project of Primary and secondary in Luwero district that could avail free good educational provisions to vulnerable and orphan children and youth in this district.

This idea came with the purpose of empowering and providing excellent free education to these children and youth since they are unable to be in schools that could avail good education due to the inability of finances to enable them be in such schools.

Towards the end of 2020, The Board of Directors of Country Lights Uganda passed a resolution to start on this project in 2023. The project is start with a Primary school to minimize the rampant growth of uneducated vulnerable and orphan children due to the inability of their parents or guardians financially to meet the standards of quality education schools in Uganda.

The Primary Country Lights Academy will educate three thousand children between the ages of five years to fifteen years i.e. from Primary one to Primary seven after its accomplishment.

The Academy Primary project is to meet the quality standards of children and the first Phase will need Country Lights Uganda to raise $500,000.
