EMPOWERING YOUTH-AT-RISK IN UGANDA BY TEACHING DESIGN, ARTS, TECHNOLOGY, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Scarcity of opportunity to cultivate skills such as graphic and web design leaves young people without hope. In Uganda, students who live in the slums find themselves caught up drugs, violence, and prostitution with no concept of a better life. Small business training and loans opens the door for these students to dream big, set goals, and build a new life
This is the type of transformation we see, on average, across era92. We move young people from $2 a day to $15 a day and see them invest their earnings in exactly the kind of things we want to see, like safe housing and nutritious food. They often spend on education for themselves or their family members, and on health care. They’re even able to open up savings accounts.
The Alternativ Global Entrepreneurs course has brought massive life change to many in Uganda and it's being paired with tech training from our partners, Era92, to slingshot students into a new life with thriving business opportunities!
The Era92 Elevate program's sole purpose is to empower youths-at-risk in Uganda through skilling them in Design, Arts and Technology, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, and Sustainable Development.
By the end of this five-month program, each student will have found a client in their specific field and performed a service for them, be it designing a website, a video, screen printing or graphic designing.
The scarcity of opportunity to cultivate skills such as graphic and web design leaves young people without hope. Small business training and loans open the door for these students to dream big, set goals, and build a new life!
Will you facilitate life change for aspirational youth in Uganda? Students need access to the simplest items such as a desk to put their computer on and a business training booklet. Join us in kickstarting hope and a future!
