EDUCATION PROGRAM
Kidron Valley Ministries boasts a primary school that works with students from 3 years old to 6th grade (11 years old) and employs 13 educators, support staff, and a Headmaster. They are focused on providing academics as well as life lessons and co-curricular activities and games. They feed and educate 300 students daily from Naminya and the surrounding villages. This year, they are looking to expand their offerings to computer classes and training. Jopri funding has helped raise money for a computer lab (chrome-books/wifi/instruction) in order to better prepare students with technology skills that will be utilized for secondary school, post-secondary school and careers.
The average teacher pay in Uganda is a little less than $150-$160 a month. Kidron teachers are currently underpaid, making less than half the average, and they struggle to make ends meet. They do this job because they feel called to help these students, but retaining these amazing teachers that lead this school to excellence is hard to do with such little pay. In order to keep the school consistently staffed with certified, well-trained, effective teachers, Kidron has requested that we work toward raising the pay of each school staff member to meet the local average. Jopri is halfway to its goal of recurring monthly donations that will raise the pay to a liveable wage and help with the retention of staff and sustainability for the school and educational experience for the students. Please join the effort so we can implement pay raises and move toward the addition of sports for social change programs as our next initiative to address!
