DataLiteracy and Adult Basic Education (LABE) is an indigenous non-government organization (NGO) founded in 1989. We provide intergenerational family learning opportunities around responsive caregiving services, preschool education learning, after-school life skills and educational performance improvement, livelihood-led literacies and parenting skills development in home-based learning environments. We do this using a two (2) generational Family Basic Education (FABE) approach

LABE is Born
A group of Makerere University Adult Education undergraduate students started to facilitate adult literacy and English classes for refugees from Sudan, Rwanda, Congo and Somalia.
Our FABE Approach
Is a whole family intergenerational approach that makes learning across all ages and generations a reality, supporting the growth and development of the entire family. It combines individual learning for children and adults, and family members’ learning with and from each other at home, school and in Home Learning centres.
FABE builds on the idea of lifelong and life-wide literacies and learning as a family-centered process, where educational growth for parents can enhance the educational experience and outcomes of children.
