A look back at some of the projects TATCO Uganda has completed with the support of our partners and sponsors across Buikwe and Mukono districts.
Following Business Management and Financial Literacy training in 2024, community women received credit to start groundnut processing, poultry and pig rearing, grocery, retail and vegetable-farming businesses, with ongoing monitoring and mentoring. Thank you to Haella Foundation for the financial support that has helped a number of women move out of the stone quarries into sustainable income-generating work.
Women in Bukerere, Mukono district, were trained in Entrepreneurship, Business Management and Financial Literacy, giving them an alternative to the stone quarry work many relied on and creating groups ready to take up business enterprises. Funded by Haella Foundation, Netherlands.
With support from Classrooms for Africa, we constructed a 3-classroom block at Sunrise Nursery & Primary School – Nabiyagi, giving lower-primary children a favourable learning environment from the 2024 academic term onward. TATCO Uganda continues to lobby for more classroom structures at this community school.
With support from Global Fund for Children (USA), we helped children return to and stay in school after COVID-19 closures, introducing Learning-Through-Play to over 5 partner primary schools alongside teacher refresher training, career guidance and play competitions — leading to higher enrolment, improved grades and stronger teacher capacity.
With support from Classrooms for Africa (Canada), we built 4 blocks containing 10 classrooms, an administration block and toilets, plus classroom and office furniture — a signature project giving children who previously worked in the Bukerere stone quarry a conducive place to learn.
TATCO Uganda opened Apple Junior School in 2022 to support children aged 3–6, many from teenage mothers and families with limited resources, through Education activities, Play-Based Learning, Creative Expression, Health and Wellness, and mother/child care training.
Creamland Nursery & Primary School was started in 2006 to serve children who had fled south from the Acholi sub-region during the LRA civil war. With financial support from Classrooms for Africa, TATCO Uganda constructed 10 classrooms, an administration block, a library, toilets and a paved playground — and continues supporting the school with teacher refresher training and scholastic materials.
