Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Pangea Publishing

Pangea Publishing creates culturally and linguistically relevant reading materials for learners in their local languages. When children enjoy reading, they make reading a part of their everyday life. This promotes literacy development. Our books include those based on oral folklore, original stories, as well as issues of particular focus including COVID-19.

See our work highlighted as a UNESCO Top Innovation here: http://www.ibe.unesco.org/sites/default/files/resources/book_ibe_-_global_education_innovation_initiative.pdf

Children and youth
Indigenous peoples

Access to reading materials is a major problem across Uganda. Our Mobile Libraries provide schools across Uganda with access to a variety of books every month to help build cultures of reading in their classrooms. These also include home deliveries in the Imvepi Refugee Settlement in West Nile region of Uganda.

Population(s) Served

We provide training for bilingual literacy instruction for educators teaching early-grade reading. Our trainers work with teachers typically over a 1 year long training period. The trainings emphasize in-person and in-class model coaching.

Project Backpack was launched to explore these possibilities as a partnership between Avenues The World School (Avenues) and Pangea Educational Development (Pangea) in 2019. Given the large number of students per teacher, limited resources, and children out of school entirely in Imvepi, the project aimed to identify whether an untraditional approach to education can lead to meaningful learning for highly motivated families.

Through Project Backpack families receive a tablet and solar charging equipment. The tablets are shared on a rotational model. It facilitates, home-based group learning of leveled, culturally relevant content, and adaptive software. It will improve the feedback loop, by offering a weekly continuous loop.

Goals & Strategy

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our organization is working to achieve universal literacy in sub-Saharan Africa.

Our research-based approach takes a comprehensive approach to promoting literacy by improving the quality of education in schools through teacher training, access to learning opportunities outside of school walls through our community centres, and producing and making reading materials accessible to learners and their families in their homes.

Our organization is uniquely equipped to address this critical issue. Through the continued growth of expert practitioners in our in-country offices and having developed the infrastructure and processes to make a scalable difference starting in Uganda and extending beyond.

To date we have worked directly with 3,872 students in 4 schools across Uganda. In 2018 our number of students impacted will increase 4X and we will produced a variety of reading materials for distribution.
