Education for Protection and Wellbeing: Nurturing safer environments for every child

June 13, 2025

ChildFund Uganda, in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Sports, local communities and other stakeholders, is implementing the Education for Protection and Wellbeing program model (EPW), an innovative initiative that equips teachers, parents and caregivers with the knowledge, skills and confidence to create nurturing environments for children. 

This program focuses on strengthening parenting skills, promoting positive discipline, and enhancing child protection at the household, school, and community levels. It recognizes that children thrive when the adults around them are empowered to support their learning, safety, and emotional well-being.

Watch this video to learn more about how the EPW program is transforming homes and classrooms into safer, more supportive spaces where every child can grow, learn, and reach their full potential.

In 2024, ChildFund Uganda allocated 83% of its total operating expenses to programs supporting vulnerable children, families, and communities.
