To reach their full potential, every kid has a right to education and access to high-quality services. Boys and girls with education should be allowed to engage in decision-making to create a better future for themselves and their communities. The Emka Foundation, an organization that primarily focuses on the life of society's underprivileged children, was founded by Emmanuel Katto (Emka). This foundation's main goal is to give disadvantaged children in society access to basic essentials including food, medicine, and education. 

Even though Uganda has made strides toward implementing universal primary education, many kids still fall short of meeting minimum standards for literacy and numeracy. Low learning levels cause low completion rates, and a large number of students struggle to move between grades. Dropout rates are also high. Emmanuel Katto Uganda through his Emka Foundation thrives to transform the education system in Uganda through various initiatives such as providing basic elementary education to the children. 

The percentage of adults aged 15 and older who can read and write with understanding a brief, straightforward statement about their daily lives is known as the adult literacy rate. The 2021 literacy rate for Uganda was 79.00%, up 2.47% from the previous year. The improvement in literacy rate is quite slow and in the majority of the regions in Uganda, it is quite hindered. 

Emka (Emmanuel Katto) through his foundation believes in transforming the life of the underprivileged children, by providing them with education in a way that, it can play a vital role in building their character and discipline, so that they can become a wise countryman in the future, contributing towards the development of the country.
