Refugees in Makpandu camp have initiated a kindergarten to prepare children for primary education in the camp.
This program came after poor performance of children in primary schools at the camp, Anisa Radio reported.
The refugees and host community formed committees that came with the ideas of a kindergarten.
Head teacher Mborigumba Isaac says the program is for children ranging from two to ten years old.
He says it is voluntary to help young children within the camp because they are the future generation.
Isaac adds that they support the teaching staff with basic needs like soap, sugar and other necessary items that parents contributed.
‘Parents, World Food Program, Christian Brothers in Rimenze and Good Samaritans help us sometime. But we are still lacking classrooms, financially we are very poor’, he complained.
Some children who spoke to Radio Anisa appeal to well-wishers to assist them with scholastic materials.
The Kindergarten has 149 boys, 130 girls, seven teaching staff and three voluntary non-teaching staff.
