Every child has the right not only to access education but to thrive within it. Our programme addresses the full spectrum of a child’s learning journey, from early childhood development to foundational literacy and psychosocial wellbeing, across Northern Uganda.
CFI delivers inclusive, play-based, and evidence-driven education programmes that respond to the realities of vulnerable children in both host and refugee communities across Northern Uganda
An Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) intervention placing children’s wellbeing at the center of learning, implemented in six schools across Ayer, Barr, and Otwal.
A remedial model grouping learners by ability, not age, targeting grades 3–5 in Abunga, Otwal, and Anyomolyec.
Six ECD and six ECCD centers across Okwerodot, Ayer, Barr, Otwal, and Aleka, investing in the most critical years of development.
A mobile literacy initiative piloted in 2025 at Barapwo Primary, now expanded to four additional schools in 2026.
Five primary schools in Lira and Oyam grow their own food to support school feeding, linking nutrition directly to learning.
In refugee contexts such as Bweyale, CFI has documented high levels of trauma, anxiety, and low self-esteem among children. Thriving Through Play responds directly to that reality: play is a child’s natural language for expression, learning, and healing, helping regulate the mind-body connection and build the trust and emotional awareness that make learning possible again.
Reach spans community book clinics, catch-up learning, and play-based psychosocial support, across partner schools in Northern Uganda.
