In March 2026, along with receving the NGO registration certificate in Uganda, we celebrated another milestone at W4EA: the launch of the first school van in Kasenda Sub-County, bringing the district’s first school transportation program to children living in remote villages.
What began with a simple belief that every child deserves access to education has become a reality for 100 young children aged 3–6, traveling daily to four schools across four villages.
For many of these little ones, the journey to school once took up to two hours. Today, thanks to the support behind W4EA, that journey takes less than 30 minutes. It means less exhaustion, safer travel, more consistent school attendance, and more time for what truly matters: learning, playing, and simply being children.
For W4EA, this program represents hope, opportunity, and the belief that where a child is born should never determine their chance to learn. Every morning, as the children climb aboard, we are reminded of why we started W4EA, and why we must keep going.
