LABE Uganda

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.

A journey filled with love, challenges, sacrifices, and endless learning. While raising a child is one of life's most rewarding responsibilities, no parent or caregiver should have to do it alone.

This Parenting Month, we celebrate parents, grandparents, caregivers, and communities who nurture children every day. We also recognize the importance of parenting support programmes that equip caregivers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to provide children with the best possible start in life.

When we support parents, we support children. And when children thrive, communities prosper.

Today, on the , we celebrate every parent and caregiver who shows up, day after day, for their children.

This year's theme is "Together for Parents," a reminder that parenting is too big a job to do alone. Parents need support, knowledge, and community to give their children the best start in life.

We walk alongside parents every step of the way, through our Family Basic Education (FABE) model, because we believe that when we invest in parents, we invest in the future of every child.

To every parent around the world striving to show up for their children, every single day: thank you. We see you.

Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in the ECD advocacy toolkit, and last week, LABE took a deliberate step to strengthen it.

Together with Moving Minds Alliance through its Reporters for Early Age Children in Humanitarian Crisis (REACH) Network, we brought together radio, print, TV, and digital journalists from across West Nile in Arua, united by a shared conviction: that the media has the power to amplify the stories of the youngest children in crisis settings, and a shared question: why are those stories so rarely told?

The day was spent building the knowledge, confidence, and connections journalists need to cover early childhood development with depth and care. From understanding the first 1,000 days to finding the human story inside the policy, participants left better equipped to put ECD on the media agenda.

๐Ÿ“ป A teacher at the microphone. Families tuned in. One story bringing them together.

Our Live Shared Book Reading program put primary school teachers on local radio, reading aloud storybooks from our Home Learning Centre (HLC) library, live on air, while parents and children gathered at the HLC to listen and join the conversation in real time.

Literacy. Community. Joy. Participation. All at once.

Last week, Vision Group marked their long-standing partnership with LABE with a Certificate of Appreciation for our West Nile team, singling out the Live Shared Book Reading program as a highlight of what that partnership has made possible.

And that is exactly the point. When media organisations and literacy organisations work together, communities benefit the most. Children who rarely see a storybook get to hear one read aloud on the radio. Parents who may never have visited a library become part of the conversation. That is what good partnership looks like.

Counting doesn't need to look one way. A handful of mangoes, a present caregiver, and a little intention - that's a classroom right there.

Mothers are a child's first safe space, first teacher, and first home. Today, we celebrate every mother who pours love, patience, and strength into raising the next generation.

Our Executive Director, Stellah Tumwebaze, is in Kigali, Rwanda this week, joining leaders from across the globe at the Global Technical Financing Forum, Investing in the Early Years.

The forum, hosted by Early Childhood Development Action Network - ECDAN alongside the Government of Rwanda, UNICEF, UNESCO, The African Early Childhood Network, and the World Health Organization (WHO), is bringing together governments, investors, and civil society organisations to address a critical gap: most countries still allocate less than 2% of education budgets to pre-primary education, even as evidence continues to show that the early years deliver the highest returns of any investment in human development.

LABE has spent over three decades working with families in some of Uganda's most underserved communities. We know what adequate, sustained investment in young children can achieve.
