Mission Statement
To empower rural children through education and community outreach.
Description
Amuno Rural Hub, founded in May 2022 by Anthony Okiria, supports rural children facing challenges in accessing quality education. Many walk long distances to school and lack food, supplies, and healthcare, yet must compete academically with urban peers.
Our mission is to provide equal opportunities through literacy, numeracy, STEAM, and life skills education using play-based learning and the Teach at the Right Level approach. The Literacy Champions program empowers youth aged 13-18 to advocate for education.
We also provide nutritious meals, basic healthcare, school supplies, and assistance with school fees. For families, we offer programs like distributing female goats, creating savings and loan groups, and training in small businesses like soap making and mushroom growing.
Since inception, Amuno Rural Hub has impacted 1,028+ children and 125+ families. Our work goes beyond education, it equips rural children for success and fosters resilient communities, ensuring every child can dream big and thrive.
