Unity Foundation

On this World Teachers’ Day, we are delighted to share that our partner organisation in Uganda, Kimanya-Ngeyo Foundation for Science and Education, was selected as one of the finalists for the ninth UNESCO-Hamdan Prize for Teacher Development!

Created in 2008 to support the improvement of teaching and learning quality toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4, the Prize’s award ceremony took place today in Paris as part of UNESCO’s World Teachers’ Day celebrations.

Kimanya’s “Learning to Learn Teacher Development Program” (LtL) was among the ten selected initiatives at the forefront of efforts to advance education quality worldwide, offering innovative solutions to the challenges faced by teachers, learners and their communities.

LtL is based on the PSA program developed by our partner Fundaec, which we currently support under our framework agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Luxembourg.

LtL has been shown to improve teaching quality and student learning outcomes in underserved primary and secondary schools. Implemented in three districts in Uganda, the program has reached 2,500 teachers since 2015, and we hope to extend our support to LtL under a new framework agreement currently being prepared for 2027-2031.

Congratulations to the winners of the UNESCO-Hamdan Prize, to Kimanya and to all the other finalists for their outstanding work!

We wish all educators a happy World Teachers’ Day: “Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.”

With the support of Luxembourg Aid & Development and ATOZ Foundation Luxembourg

Leidy's story illustrates how the Preparation for Social Action (PSA) program, created and offered by our partner Fundaec in Colombia, helps participants build on the talents and capacities they already possess and develop new skills that enable them to contribute to their communities and pursue their aspirations with greater confidence and effectiveness!

When you join the Unity Open, you become part of something bigger: this year again, Unity Open contributions go directly to support the educational programs of our partner Ahdieh Foundation in the Central African Republic.

Their work spans three lines of action: Community Schools, which bring education to children in several regions of the country, particularly in remote areas where few or no schools exist; the Preparation for Social Action (PSA) program, which strengthens the capacities of youth and adults in language, mathematics, science, and processes of community life, including agriculture, health and environmental conservation; and a Training Center, which extends learning from the community schools program to organizations across the wider region.

Together, these programs build the capacity of communities to take charge of their own development!

To register, send an email to [email protected] with the following details:
- the name and age of each participant;
- whether you are registering for the tournament, the dinner, or both.

For the tournament, please also specify:
