What Makes Us Different
Connect Africa Foundation creates a close connection between the donor and recipient.
Our directors work directly with the people of Uganda, creating a small, intimate, community-based organization.
In Uganda education is not free. Starting with nursery school through university or vocational training, we help students through 15+ years of education, guided by personal attention to each student and family.
Not every child has the opportunity to attend school, thus many youth are unable to secure careers, highlighting the need for vocational training.
In 2005 we began our work in a cluster of 16 villages, expanding our reach to 50+ villages throughout Uganda. In 2010, Connect Africa developed a community campus in the village of Joggo.
Our mission to provide loans came about when elders in the community said, "We do not want to be beggars, we want income." Our philosophy
of awarding loans differs
significantly from other micro-financing.
