Urukundo Learning Center
Urukundo Learning Center (school) started because David, our first toddler, did not appreciate the preschool we found for him. He refused to return to the school because it was full of “cry babies and no teaching” David was our inspiration. Urukundo Learning Center was established to provide education for low and no-income families. We believe that every child has the right to be all that he or she can be and education is the tool to make that possible.
Graduation Day at Urukundo. Graduations are special at Urukundo. Graduation exercises are held for Kindergarten.
The Learning Center was built one grade at a time, one classroom at a time as the need presented itself. Today, there are 27 classrooms, we teach 1,153 children with 41 teachers and 18 school staff. Urukundo Foundation (UF) financially supports 81 students from the community.
100% of Urukundo Primary (elementary) school students, after taking the national test in 6th grade, go on to attend schools of higher education. Professions of Urukundo graduates include lawyers, nurses, IT specialists, librarians, teachers, chefs, and business administrators.
The Learning Center also includes the Urukundo Technical Sewing Center (School) which is covered later.
