Train 700 Youth to become Builders of Peace.

Hello Friends, 

Greetings from Uganda! 

With half of the year already gone, we are excited to share with you that we have made up for the time lost during the pandemic. With Schools fully open for the last 7 months Uganda Unites has been able to break ground in new schools and new communities. We have engaged 5,994 youth between January and July 2022. 1,532 youth of those engaged have signed up to become members of Uganda Unites and go through an additional 30 weekly credits of mentorship. 35 of the members have committed to volunteer with Uganda Unites giving a minimum of 8 Hours a week to support the Uganda Unites vision and mission. 

Leonard Ssenyange, 21, was the president of the St. Henry’s College - Kyengera Peace Club for 1 year and with other younger leaders undertook our 30 credits mentorship program. In 2021 he graduated out of high school and the peace club and joined Makerere University. The mentorship had inspired him to do more for his community and he wanted to continue sharing the knowledge he accrued in the peace club with other young people in the new space at the university, and so in the 2nd quarter of 2022 Leonard as a new volunteer with Uganda Unites launched a Peace Club on Makerere University with 23 changes agents. Leonard’s story inspires us to continue mentoring young people, and as we inch closer to the end of 2022 our target is to engage and mentor 12,000 youth across Uganda. 

Your support has got us this nearly half way through our target and we would like to invite you to invite a friend to make a donation and enable young people acquire knowledge on how to be change agents and peace builders in their community. 

Thank you for your continued support.
