ABSTRACT Since 2014, Save the Children in Uganda has worked with local communities and organizations to design sponsorship programs for kids. Their programs designed for primary school-aged children work to transform the children into lifelong learners by building strong curriculums and passionate teachers. It also provides health education and care to children in need through their school health programs to help children stay healthy, well-nourished and in school. This research therefore sought to understand the contributions of Save the Children Uganda in poverty reduction through provision of free education to vulnerable children in Uganda. The study focused on the operations of the NGO at household level in Busiro East Constituency in Wakiso District; based on the following objectives: To explore activities and approaches used by NGOs in education service delivery in Busiro East Constituency in Wakiso district, to find out the contributions of NGOs in Busiro East Constituency in Wakiso district and to find out the relationship between NGOs and Educational Service Delivery in Busiro East Constituency in Wakiso district. Data collection involved use of semi-structured questionnaire which was administered to the beneficiaries and interview question guides which conducted on both the NGO’s managers and Wakiso district officials. Findings showed that there is a positive impact exhibited by Save the Children in Busiro East Constituency because the majority of the disadvantaged youth in Busiro East Constituency have acquired vocational /technical skills in different aspects such as tailoring, carpentry and brick laying/housing construction. Save the Children has also sponsored education towards many orphans up to university level; thus promoting employment in the area. Also, social order has been restored among the parentless children who have lived without health care, spiritual and psychosocial guidance. Basing on the findings, the researcher recommends that Save the Children needs to intensify its socio-economic empowerment programs so that beneficiaries can be equipped with knowledge to reduce poverty in Busiro East and Uganda at large, besides the provision of education service delivery.
