Education is the key towards building a society that can overcome poverty in a sustainable manner. Investing in human capital brings about powerful social change and creates opportunities for children to realize their full potential.  Primary education is the most important level of education because it lays the foundation for all future formal learning, and without it this additional education and the benefits it can bring cannot be achieved. To most of the schools here in Uganda, the quality of the teaching is poor, teachers have high rates of absenteeism, and the system is unable to provide students with individual attention including fewer parents to child inspiration for the value of education. When it comes to rural areas, many children are out of school due to serous social, emotional and physical reasons. Rural areas have an increasing number of children without parents, low earning parents that cannot even afford school as well lack of capable inspirations within their communities that show the value of education.

Education is recognized as one of the keys to fighting poverty, but despite the awareness of that fact, many families in Uganda are facing poverty, which forces families to put children to work or into other situations because they cannot afford to keep them at home and in school. In addition, some social customs deny education to girls, and children who are orphaned are almost always placed in situations that reduce their chances for education. Addressing education at grassroots level is more critical to the long term sustainability of a socioeconomic change.
