Our space is not just a place to study, but also a place to connect, collaborate, and have fun. We want our students to feel inspired, motivated, and supported by us and by each other. We are proud of what they have achieved so far and we look forward to seeing them grow and thrive in the future.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) define the world we want and they were created to apply to all nations to ensure that no one is left behind. In no particular order, read more to learn more about which goals we were inspired by to make sure that this means that the girls living in deep rural areas are not left behind. This article is a reflection of how our mission aligns with 5 of the 17 SDGs.

The students are showing up in numbers whenever we have an event and we are grateful for that. With our mantra of #doinglittlethingswithpassion, we will continue equipping the space with resources that will help our students perform better in schools as well as their communities.

We want this to be a safe space for the children to know that they are supported. A space to laugh, speak their truth, learn their worth, process and understand their feelings. Most importantly, this space serves as a reminder that they are not alone.

We invited five students from the current Rev. Nayenga Candidate class to do a job shadow at a local KBS Radio Station in Kamuli. These five students scored the top results in their EarlyBird practice exams, so they were rewarded with a tour and lunch at the radio station. We welcome future collaborations with any Ugandan business or organization that is willing to invite our students over for a job shadow. We want the students to experience first hand the many ways they can be amazing in their own communities. Below are the reviews from the student representatives.

At EarlyBird256, we strive to not only show our students that they are loved and supported, but also empower them to pursue their dreams and write their own futures. We show them that they have the ability to create with their hands, and we teach them how that can help them financially to achieve their goals. As a result, most of the students have their own projects or “side hustles” — such as farming, raising livestock, or helping a parent run a shop — and part of our work is to help them thrive with their side projects as well as in school.
