RDF’s education programme has focused on creating child friendly learning and recreational spaces in rural secondary schools in the Rwenzori Region. According to UNICEF, a child-friendly school provides easy access to open spaces that allows children to be in close contact with their environment and to engage in physical activities. Open spaces can be designed as play yards for sports, outdoor learning activities and performance spaces. In typical child-friendly schools, the community would be allowed to use some of these spaces after school hours for local meetings, gatherings and other events.
