Enabling vulnerable young people to reach their potential
20 years of making smiles
Our vision is to support vulnerable young Ugandans, sponsoring them through quality vocational training , bringing hope and enabling them to break free from the cycle of poverty
Basically UgandAid works with a non-government training college, Nile Vocational Institute (NVI) near Jinja, Uganda. We arrange sponsorship for vulnerable young people to learn practical skills on two or three year residential courses, so that they can gain employment, support themselves and their families and break free of poverty. Individuals, families, schools and other groups in the UK sponsor one young person through their education. UgandAid also supports NVI in other ways, including capital projects to improve the infrastructure and departmental equipment.
Since UgandAid started:
Over £900,000 donated
892 students taken in to NVI
Can you sponsor one of them?
Equipping for life
UgandAid students need essential equipment to undertake their vocational courses fully and safely.
Would you like to give someone a gift that makes a difference to someone less fortunate ?
