The Impact of Nonprofits in Uganda

Uganda is currently experiencing a number of crises related to water and sanitation, the environment, human health, and human rights. Fortunately, there are currently over 2,000 Ugandan charity organizations working hard to make the nation a stronger, healthier place to live. Among the most pressing concerns are gender inequality and education in Uganda. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and nonprofit organizations with missions in these areas are essential for helping future generations of Ugandans attain a higher quality of life. 

Here are just a few examples of the positive impacts education and equity-related nonprofits have had over the last several decades: 

• Maintaining sponsorship programs for the 270,000 orphaned children in the nation and supporting their primary and secondary education
• Meeting the basic needs of students as they complete their education and preparing them for a future in which they can break the cycle of generational poverty
• Operating programs that offer general educational support to children, students, and communities
• Providing targeted agricultural and business education programs that help students overcome food insecurity and qualify for high-quality jobs
• Championing girls’ education and working to change sexist attitudes toward women as domestic caregivers, which helps girls and women financially support themselves and their families
• Developing programs to educate and empower adult women in low-income families and reduce gender-based violence, as well as train women for leadership roles.
• Sponsoring students’ education, with a focus on empowering girls and women, and providing mentorship programs that train students in business skills, financial literacy, health, and sustainable agricultural methods
• Creating and funding college scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students, particularly those who want to dedicate their lives to helping Uganda thrive
