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

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 a young person through their education. UgandAid also supports NVI in other ways, including capital projects to improve the infrastructure and departmental equipment.
