We’re thrilled to share how our 20 scholarship recipients in Uganda have grown, achieved, and overcome in the past year—thanks to your continued support.

This year, our scholars have made remarkable strides in both academics and vocational training. From bustling classrooms in Kampala to hands-on workshops in Jinja, these resilient young adults are charting new paths forward. Several of our students are now pursuing diplomas in fields like nursing, electrical installation, mechanics, and business administration—areas with strong potential for employment in Uganda's growing job market.

One shining example is Grace, who completed her first year in nursing school with flying colors. She’s currently doing her clinical rotations at a local health center, where she’s already earning praise for her compassionate care.

Then there's Peter, who enrolled in a vocational carpentry program and recently helped build desks for a nearby primary school—giving back to the community that once supported him.

Beyond academics, our scholarship program has provided mentorship and emotional support—an essential element for youth without family to lean on. Regular check-ins, workshops on life skills, and peer support circles have helped students stay grounded and connected. Our team also facilitated health care access, ensuring scholars were not held back by preventable illnesses or lack of basic needs.

Living costs like transport, rent, and meals can be difficult for students in Uganda, especially those without any family safety net. Thanks to your generosity, our scholars had the support they needed to focus on their studies instead of worrying about their next meal.

As we aim to raise $18,000 this year to continue supporting these 20 incredible young people, we’re inviting you to help us keep the momentum going. Whether through a recurring monthly donation or a one-time gift, every dollar goes directly toward tuition, mentorship, supplies, and healthcare.

$75 a month covers a full scholarship. With your help, we can continue providing a future filled with opportunity, hope, and dignity.

Thank you for being part of this life-changing mission. Together, we are building brighter futures for Uganda’s youth—one scholar at a time.
