&lt;p&gt;      Early learning project is an initiative of poor rural mothers in Kabata, Rubona Sub county western Uganda that they have named Global Vision Nursery School supported by Joy for Children-Uganda.The project aims at giving children below 6 years learning opportunities before joining starting primary school. This is more of a nursery school or daycare. Since its inception in 2008 the school has over 120 children. The children contribute only UGX 2000 ($1.2 USD) unfortunaltely more than 40% of these children are total orphans. 

The school has 2 teachers and being run in a local church known as United Pentecostal church that provided the learning space when the school was starting early this year. As the number of children is growing on a high rate the church has asked the school to relocate. In the short term the parents want to construct a temporary structure where the children will be studying from as they fundraise to construct a permanent structure. One of the founder of the school has donated small land. While the women are determined to contribute resources towards the construction of the school, they need support since all of them are peasant farmers. 

A total of $20,000 USD is sought to construct atleast the first three classrooms with a seating capacity of 45 children. Please make your decision to contribute Now and tell a friend about it.
