HOW WE ARE CLOSING THE GAP
WatuDev Initiatives is ensuring that every child in rural Uganda gains the foundational skills needed to learn, catch-up and stay in school. We strengthen teacher capacity. We deliver personalized remedial support for learners. And we expand access through digital learning labs and quality educational resources.
Because when children learn to read, write and count - they don't just improve test scores. They catch-up. They master the basics. They grow into confident capable learners.
OUR REASON
WHY IT
CAN'T WAIT...
"Because without foundational literacy and numeracy, children are not learning. They are falling further behind with every passing day."
WatuDev Initiatives is an education-focused, Ugandan women-led nonprofit founded in 2020 by a team of passionate community-rooted educators.
As proximate leaders, born of and embedded in the communities we serve, we believe that every child deserves the chance to thrive through quality learning.
We work hand-in-hand with education leaders, local schools, teachers, and community education champions to equip primary school learners with core foundational and transferrable skills. Our roots are local. Our leadership is lived. Our mission is personal.
