Hello friend!
It’s been an inspiring few months here at Backup Uganda, and we’re so excited to share what your support has made possible. Because of you, more teachers, parents, and community members are learning how to identify and support learners with learning difficulties and disabilities—and that’s creating real change in classrooms across Northern Uganda.
Dyslexia Awareness Day – Gulu, 12th September
This year’s Dyslexia Awareness Day was a big success! Over 150 participants—including teachers, education students, parents, and other professionals—joined us in Gulu to learn more about identifying dyslexia and supporting learners who experience it. The energy in the room was incredible, and many left feeling more confident and motivated to make their classrooms and homes more inclusive.
Inclusion Monday – Learning Together, Online
We’ve also kept the learning going through our Inclusion Monday webinars. In recent months, we’ve hosted two sessions:
Inclusive Technical & Vocational Education
In July, we teamed up with Gulu University to organize a 2-day training for parents, caregivers, educators, and government officials. Together, we explored how technical and vocational education can be made more inclusive for learners with different learning needs. The discussions were lively, and participants left with practical strategies to make sure everyone gets a fair chance at success.
Wrapping Up the School Year
The final school term of the year has just begun, which means our team is busy wrapping up workshops, lesson observations, and evaluation meetings with our partner schools. It’s a great time to reflect on the progress made so far and to celebrate the teachers who continue to put inclusive education into action every single day.
We couldn’t do any of this without you.
Thank you for believing in our mission and standing with us as we build a more inclusive education system in Uganda—one workshop, one teacher, and one learner at a time.
Much love,
The Backup Uganda Team
