This is a transformative community-based school readiness program, targets out-of-school children aged 6 to 12. Inspired by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s success with Syrian refugees, this program, led by the dedicated Soma Soma Committee, prepares children for formal primary school enrollment. With over 1,000 graduates now enrolled in primary schools throughout Nakivale, Soma!!!Soma!!! utilizes home visits to address individual challenges and customizes the program to meet the unique needs of each community. Join us in empowering children and shaping a brighter future through education.
Through our collaborative approach, Now and Tomorrow Uganda supports communities in determining their needs and mobilizing resources to construct essential facilities. We provide materials and skilled craftsmen, while the community takes ownership of the structures. With four new buildings and two renovations already completed, we empower communities to shape their own destinies. Join us in building a brighter future together.
Now and Tomorrow Uganda facilitates income generation and livelihood initiatives within the community, supporting individuals and education programs. These initiatives are selected by the community and driven by contributions of labor, cash, and land. Governed by a dedicated sub-committee of community members, the generated revenues are shared among individuals, the Soma Soma committee, and Kura Kura operations. Together, we foster sustainable growth and empower communities to thrive.
