Every day across Uganda and our neighboring East African countries, countless young people wake up with big dreams but limited chances to pursue them. Vulnerable youth and refugees—especially girls—are held back not by a lack of potential, but by barriers that deny them education, mentorship, and safe spaces to grow.
At Africa Education and Leadership Initiative (AFRICA ELI), we step into that gap with a simple belief: when a young person is given the tools to rise, they become brave beyond barriers. Through lifelong learning opportunities, leadership development, and psycho-social support, we nurture confidence, purpose, and resilience.
Over the years, AFRICA ELI has opened doors for young people who once felt unseen—breaking cycles of limitation, challenging stereotypes, expanding access to quality education, and strengthening emotional wellbeing. Together, we can empower youth to become leaders who shape their own path and transform their communities
