BRIDGE Project
Youth Integrated Development Organization
YIDO, in partnership with War Child Canada, is implementing a five-year BRIDGE project that began in 2022 across three Accelerated Education Program (AEP) centres (Bwiizi Seed Secondary School, Ntenungi Secondary School and Rwamwanja Secondary School).
The project aims to support learners who have
lost valuable school time due to conflicts in their home countries and the
COVID-19 pandemic.
This initiative connects secondary education with skills
development, creating pathways to job opportunities for refugee and host
community youth in Uganda.
Through a compressed 2-year accelerated education curriculum,
the program enables youth to resume and complete lower secondary education
annually, equipping them with the tools for academic success and a brighter
future.
After completion of lower secondary school education, learners are
sponsored for A-level education, Vocational education and University education
through the Mastercard Scholarship.
