Mission
Thrive Uganda’s mission is to utilize compassion, love and generosity to interrupt the cycle of intergenerational poverty in rural Uganda by providing qualified youth with personal, financial and nutritional support to continue their education. Education that is the cornerstone to achieve economic security and personal career aspirations.
Program
Our three-pillar approach – Education, Nutrition, Mentoring – provides Thrive Uganda Achievers with wraparound support including personal development, academic assistance and financial support that enables our Achievers to learn, achieve and thrive thus breaking the cycle of generational poverty.
We work directly with youth, their parents and their rural community leaders. Our staff and volunteers are mentors, teachers and advocates. In addition to academics, our Achievers learn and practice goal setting, work ethic, self-discipline, self-esteem, perseverance and resilience.
