Our Approach
Founded in 2012, the Kamukama Foundation sponsors more than 625 students across 14 different schools. Through our partnerships with local schools, we also provide healthcare, agricultural programming, and other support initiatives.
The gift of an education in a country that does not freely offer it empowers these children to break the cycle of poverty and build a better future for themselves and their families.
Why Uganda?
Due to lack of government subsidized education, families face enormous challenges to educate their children.
- Over half of the people in Uganda struggle to survive on less than $1.25 a day
- 25% of children in rural Uganda receive no education
- 3 out of 4 children who start primary school never complete 5th grade
- For every 100 girls in Uganda starting primary school, only 6 ever complete the secondary level
