Our Story

...

We strive to nurture Learners with creative ability to their full potential to be creators, problem solvers and leaders, for a better world.

Northern Uganda, especially the Acholi sub-region, recovering from over two decades of conflict, faces a huge education crisis. The current traditional education system falls short of nurturing the human resources with the skill sets, values, and exposure required to meet the needs of this dynamic recovering society. Currently, the region experiences an 80% unemployment rate and a 67% poverty rate, according to UNPA (2022). As Wokober, we believe that for society to emerge from this deep pit, we need a generation of Innovators, Entrepreneurs, and Leaders who are well-exposed, empowered, and anchored in core values, to not only thrive in this dynamic world but, more importantly, to directly participate in uplifting and accelerating the growth of their communities. That's why we are pioneering the Wokober Learning Approach, an alternative creative learning approach that leverages the uncultivated uniqueness of toy-making, aimed at nurturing creativity, innovation, self-development, and leadership.
