Our Youth, Our Future.
Raising a community of self-driven, responsible and economically empowered youth.
Our Impact
We are empowering a generation of young people in Uganda to change the narrative of their lives through mentorship, discipleship and teaching. The holistic approach to each of our programs provides an environment of growth for every youth who participates. We have seen incredible transformation in these young people over the past few years and we are looking ahead to a bright future.
50+
Young mothers and babies served
Our teenage pregnancy center has offered a fresh start for over 50 young mothers and their babies.
200+
youth engaged weekly
We gather over 200 youth in two different communities every week to engage them in recreational activities, mentorship and discipleship.
100+
students trained in vocational skills
Since it’s start in 2019, we have graduated over 100 students from our vocational institute in trades such as hairdressing, fashion and design and leatherworks!
Our Programs
Our programs are are separated into three main departments: outreach, family intervention and education. Each department serves to address the different obstacles our youth face in their day-to-day lives such as limited access to education, unsafe homes and idleness.
Outreach
Every week, we meet with over 200 youth in our weekly outreach program. These weekly engagements serve as a tool to attract new youth into our program while developing the talents of the youth who have already joined.
Family Intervention
We recognize that we are only with our youth for a short time each day or week compared to the time they spend with their families at home. Family must be included in the journey of transformation and empowerment. We have developed a number of programs that are designed for change to start in the home.
education
A limited access to education of any kind is common among the youth we interact with. We appreciate the importance of education in a young person’s life and have put programs in place to fill in a growing gap in today’s world.
sustainability
We are always looking for innovative ways to sustain ourselves as a nonprofit organization. We currently have three major income generating businesses including a medical center, a vocational institute and a fashion and accessory line!
