About promise to Uganda

Promise to Uganda is a nonprofit organization aimed at building schools that offer free and quality education to orphaned kids in Uganda, we’re committed to building a skillful community whereby our high school students will have different possibilities to achieve their goals. We are tasked to raise enough funds to equip our community with all the necessary materials to enable our student’s full access to modern and world-class skills. After 18 long years of both junior and high school, the school system in Uganda is that you’re supposed to go to university for you to be able to find a decent job afterward. At least 400,000 graduate each year at various public and private universities. Unfortunately, only 150,000 jobs are created annually leaving an estimated 350,000 potentially jobless. This is because the system concentrates more on what’s written in the book rather than finding someone’s potential and boosting it. As we want to educate kids from a young age, we don’t want to push them to a certain level only to leave them hanging with no chance of finding a job and living their lives. We want to build a community that allows them to live to their full potential by creating different job training centers whereby by the time they leave our community they’re ready to either start their own dream business or find their dream job according to the skills they chose to specialize in. With this, we will not only be giving these once hopeless orphaned kids a bright and promising future but we will be creating a whole different new generation with both the education and the skills they will need to go out there and elevate their communities.
