LABE Uganda Innovating to empower communities through literacy since 1989. Early Childhood Development | Inclusive Home & Play-Based Learning | Family Basic Education

Literacy and Adult Basic Education (LABE), founded in 1989, is an indigenous NGO in Uganda with registration number S.5914/1192. LABE is governed by a BOD of Directors that represent government, higher institutions of learning, international and district-level partner organizations. Those who engage with LABE subscribe to the beliefs and basic principles that: Literacy, as a continuously evolving

concept, is a basic human right โ€“ the foundation to learning and a more just society; Lack of reading and writing, particularly among women and girls, is unacceptable in the 21st century; Families, communities and local organizations have capacities, assets and resources which can be used to radically improve their education for wider development.

Our Executive Director, Stellah Keihangwe Tumwebaze, is participating in the Local Conference of Children and Youth on Climate Change (5โ€“7 August) at the UN Offices in Kampala.

Tomorrow, she will join a panel discussion on early learning and climate change, sharing how climate change is affecting young children's learning across Northern Uganda and how LABE is helping build greener Home Learning Centres through fruit tree planting in partnership with the Rotary Club of Kampala Central.

We look forward to contributing to the conversation on building climate-resilient futures for every child.

From learning to practice: Our staff came together in Koboko from across LABE's field locations for Participatory Programming (PAPRO) training, then put it straight into practice.

At Diobe, Nyeite, and Tanyaji Home Learning Centres (HLCs), staff sat with communities to listen, ask, and let local voices guide the conversation. That's how programmes that truly fit communities get built.

A valuable investment in learning and collaboration.

Over two productive days in Koboko last week, LABE field staff from across our seven operational districts strengthened their knowledge and practical skills in the Caregiver-Reported Early Development Instruments (CREDI) and Growth Monitoring tools through a hands-on training facilitated by the Tiny Totos team.

Thank you, Tiny Totos, for sharing your expertise and for your continued partnership in advancing evidence-based early childhood development.

Strengthening partnerships for equitable education in Northern Uganda.

Last Friday, LABE joined Diakonia Uganda, Gulu Womenโ€™s Economic Development and Globalization (GWED-G), and African Youth Development Link (AYDL) for the final day of a week-long learning and planning engagement in Gulu.

The day began with a peer review and reflection session, where partners shared lessons, challenges, and promising practices from the joint field monitoring visits, strengthening collaboration and identifying opportunities for shared learning.

The partners then held the inception meeting for the Breaking Children's Barriers to Equitable Education (BBEE) project, aligning on the project's vision, implementation approach, roles, safeguarding and accountability standards, work plans, and reporting requirements.

Over the next two years, the project will work to improve equitable access to quality education for vulnerable children across select districts in Northern Uganda and West Nile. As a project partner, LABE will strengthen community-based early childhood education through our Home-Based Early Childhood Development (HBECD) model, supporting Parent Educators, Youth Facilitators, caregivers, and communities to give every child the best possible start.

Together, we're breaking barriers so that more children, especially girls, refugee children, and children with disabilities, can access safe, inclusive, and quality learning opportunities.

We're delighted to welcome the Tiny Totos team to LABE Uganda as we embark on a collaborative effort to strengthen early childhood development programming.

Together, we are advancing the use of the Caregiver-Reported Early Development Instruments (CREDI) and Growth Monitoring tools, evidence-based approaches that support a better understanding of children's growth and development, enabling more responsive interventions for young children and their caregivers.

We value partnerships that strengthen capacity, foster learning, and contribute to ensuring every child has the best possible start in life.

Putting parenting knowledge into practice.

Yesterday, parents and caregivers from Anguowubo and Alibajiako Home Learning Centres (HLCs) in Terego District participated in a practical food demonstration following a parenting session on nutrition.

Guided by a nutritionist from Arua Regional Referral Hospital, they prepared nutritious meals for pregnant mothers and children aged 0โ€“6 using locally available ingredients. Participants explained their recipes and were assessed on hygiene, nutritional value, variety, preparation, and presentation.

The demonstrations were documented and will be translated into parenting learning materials for future sessions.

Congratulations to Alibajiako HLC for emerging winners and receiving UGX 100,000 to support their feeding programme, while Anguowubo HLC received UGX 80,000 as runners-up.

Practical parenting. Better nutrition. Healthier beginnings.

From just 4 children in 2022 to a thriving community-led learning centre serving 43 children today, Kalama Inclusive Home-Based Learning Centre is showing what is possible when communities take ownership of children's futures.

Adopting LABE Uganda's Home-Based Early Childhood Development (HBECD) Model, the centre has grown beyond providing early learning. Parents, local leaders, and community members have come together to build classrooms, establish a coffee plantation for sustainability, support children with diverse learning needs, and create a nurturing environment where every child can learn, play, and prepare for primary school.

This story reminds us that lasting change happens when communities are empowered to lead.

Yesterday, we joined consortium partners, district stakeholders, Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), and UNHCR Uganda in Yumbe District for the inception meeting of the Kulea Watoto (KW) Phase 2.0 Project.

Funded by Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and implemented by a consortium of LABE Uganda, The AfriChild Centre, Madrasa Early Childhood Programme, International Rescue Committee Uganda, and Kabarole Research & Resource Center (KRC), the project adopts a Two-Generation (2-Gen) Approach, supporting young children while strengthening the capacity and livelihoods of their caregivers.

The project aims to improve Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) outcomes for children aged 0โ€“5 years while enhancing family resilience through livelihood support. It will reach 1,000 households across Yumbe District and Kampala.

During the inception meeting, consortium partners shared their priorities and commitments with district leaders, UNHCR, and OPM, laying the foundation for strong coordination, local ownership, and successful implementation.

Together, we are creating nurturing environments where young children can thrive, and families can build more secure futures.
