The article “A Foundation for the Future: Early Childhood Education and Women’s Health at St. Bakhita VTC” highlights the recent initiatives at St. Bakhita Vocational Training Center (SBVTC) in Kalongo, Uganda, focusing on the establishment of an Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) and the enhancement of women’s health services.
Early Childhood Education
In June 2024, SBVTC inaugurated its ECDC to provide foundational education to young children in the community. The center’s classroom is equipped with child-friendly furniture, books, and educational materials. Thematic backpacks containing reusable, laminated materials on topics such as letters, numbers, shapes, animals, sports, and emotions were introduced to support the curriculum. Teachers Judith and Gloria received training to create lesson plans using these resources, ensuring adaptability to students’ varying abilities. The children quickly adapted to the structured environment, engaging enthusiastically in daily activities.
Women’s Health Services
Alongside the ECDC, SBVTC has enhanced its women’s health services. The center now offers comprehensive health education, focusing on maternal and reproductive health, nutrition, and disease prevention. These services aim to empower women with knowledge and resources to make informed health decisions, contributing to the overall well-being of the community.
Through these initiatives, SBVTC is committed to fostering early childhood education and improving women’s health, laying a strong foundation for the community’s future.

We will start the class with circle time to go over vocabulary and phrases and then dive into a craft or activity so students have the opportunity to practice Spanish in an immersive way.
