Redearth Education
​
We provide professional development through training and support to teachers in rural government nursery and primary schools in Uganda in order to raise the standard of teaching and learning in these schools and improve pupil outcomes. We work closely with the District officials and Ministry. We run the projects with Ugandan staff from a centre in Masindi and also provide a model nursery school with 75 children.
