The Porridge Program is created to promote nutrition in especially primary schools in rural areas. Too many children are learning on empty stomachs and still have to take the same National Exams taken by those who have the privilege to have their basic needs met.

One of EarlyBird256’s missions is to create a safe space where girls are confident in their bodies and voices. We do this through encouraging movement, such as in dance and sports workshops, which are supported by our fundraising efforts. We also collaborate with squad members who have businesses and passions that align with our mission.

Reasons why we love the Crested Crane. In addition to being the National bird of Uganda, The Crested Crane is our number one bird of choice because it embodies the essence of the safe space that we are manifesting for the girls.

EarlyBird has been busy setting up our first remote-learning workshops in Kamuli, a town in the Eastern Region of Uganda. We’re partnering with the community of Rev Nayenga Primary School, which was established in 1924. As of the beginning of lockdown, in March 2020, the school had 354 girls and 320 boys enrolled.
