Giving Opportunity | Build what lasts (Angaza Resource Centre, Kibuli)

In underserved communities across Kampala, many children grow up without books, computers, or safe learning spaces, and teachers often work without training or materials. That’s why 40 Days Over 40 Smiles Foundation built permanent learning infrastructure: the Angaza Resource Centre (ARC), launched in July 2023 at Merowa Junior School (Kibuli, Makindye Division), a child-friendly space with a library + computer lab, offering free literacy materials and digital skills training.

ARC supports both learners and educators: 1,500 in-school children served, 500 out-of-school children reached, plus 300 teachers supported and 200+ educators trained in practical teaching and digital skills.

And the most powerful part? Local resources built this, UGX 176 million raised by Ugandans, with monthly giving starting from UGX 10,000, powered by volunteers and community trust.

How you can give:

  • Join with a monthly contribution (from UGX 10,000)

  • Support learning materials and digital tools for children and teachers

  • Offer time/skills to strengthen community-led learning

What would change if more of us chose to fund the learning spaces our communities can truly own?
