E.   Collaborate through Partnerships

We desire to collaborate with individuals and organizations that share the same vision of improving the social, economic, and cultural conditions of communities like the Nakyere community to mitigate suffering.

Ways to Partner

Academic Enrichment

Education is a human right central to achieving many other sustainable development outcomes.

We seek support to help our teachers engage with other educators in sharing knowledge and experiences, expand their capacity to provide quality education, and advance student learning and achievement. Partners’ contributions could be:

• funding
• equipment or product donations
• partner time/expertise or knowledge
• technology transfer through capacity-building opportunities
• scholarships
• exchange programs

Infrastructure Development

Robust community infrastructure supports a community's physical and mental health.

We want to support the community by creating lasting infrastructure.

• Better all-weather roads to reduce the travel time for people, goods, and services and improve access to markets and social services. His will also make it possible for women in rural areas to participate in the workforce.
• Clean water and sanitation to reduce infant mortality and diseases.

Community Amenities

a)  Food preservation infrastructure:

The community faces high food loss and waste levels due to poor post-harvest handling practices and a lack of appropriate food infrastructure, such as poor drying, storage, transportation, and processing. Proper post-harvest handling practices will reduce food insecurity and extreme poverty.

b)  Access to electricity:

Access to electricity is essential to support business efficiency and productivity to generate additional revenue, and it makes the use of modern techniques such as irrigation, crop processing, and food preservation possible.

 c)   Youths skills training and knowledge transfer:

According to YouthPolicy.org, Uganda has the world's youngest population, over 78 percent below 30. With just under eight million youth aged 15-30, the country also has one of the highest youth unemployment rates in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Many youths strongly desire to receive education, find work, and contribute to community peace and development.  We are seeking investments to help ensure that the children, youth, and adults, particularly young women, have the knowledge, skills, and competencies they need for employment and to contribute to economic growth.

ALDO is considering the following projects for the community:

     i.        Provide skills and Leadership Training.

Promoting skills development is critical to rural development, especially in agricultural communities. One of our strategic goals is to empower the school community with skills, provide leadership training, and set up income-generating activities to create a thriving community with increased capacity for sustainable development.

   ii.        Establish Sports for Development

GIZ Sports for Development reports that sports bridge social divides, unite people, and stabilize societies. The United Nations (UN) has also recognized 'sport as a means to promote education, health, development and peace' and included it in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In this way, sport plays a crucial role in developing cooperation.

The sports program will strengthen gender equality, reinforce social cohesion, and promote employment for young people. It could enhance the lives of disadvantaged children and young people worldwide.

  iii.        Establish a Community Bakery

We will use the bakery to train in skills, provide bread, and create jobs. It will also work as a market for locally produced grains and foods.

  iv.        Establish a skills vocational institute.

We will offer micro-entrepreneurial skills to create opportunities for self-employment in vocational skills like tailoring, hairdressing, computer literacy, bakery, crafts, farming, bricklaying, and carpentry, which can help with sustainable community development.

We collaborate with local businesses and farmers to educate the community about business skills and modern farming methods. We hold career sessions and invite students and parents to learn about other professions to motivate children to dream of becoming professionals. We promote interest and academic clubs for children to acquire practical skills, and we provide the venue for conducting leadership sessions in the community.

Please help us support the teachers who are doing a fantastic job!
