Come and use your experience to transform and impact Ugandan students' lives in rural schools.

Description

This is an NGO empowering learners in school with life skills and fundamental entrepreneurship skills to improve their livelihoods and influence them to focus on innovation instead of just earning certificates from schools to look for jobs. We work with all education stakeholders to inspire start up student led enterprises right from the grass-root. We work with the community, education institutions, teachers and learners.
