Message from one of our partner organisations - MCODE [Uganda]

Behind the growth of every young organization, there must be a well-wishing and supporting group of people or organization and in the tremendous growth of Mission for Community Development (MCODE) in Uganda, there was “Educate the World” formerly known as Primary Education for All in the UK.
MCODE was not known, not well established and with very little resources by the time Educate the World accepted to support it. Since the beginning of this partnership between Educate the World and MCODE, a lot has changed;

Dean Brockway together with his team designed and up to date still host MCODE’s website which has made a very big impact in keeping our supporters and all stakeholders updated and making other donors attracted to support MCODE. Dean and the entire team of Educate the World did not only support MCODE with the website but went further to provide consultancy services in relation to a number of funding applications.

The entire MCODE team is truly grateful for the continued support by Educate the World which has made MCODE a fast growing NGO in our area, they have further committed to work with MCODE to support the education of some of the most vulnerable children who would otherwise not have the chance to have an education, thank you Dean and your entire team!!!


Yours; Eng. Deo Lubanga Kayondo – founder and Executive Director of Mission for Community Development (MCODE).
