Connect Africa Foundation

Helping Ugandans create a better future for themselves

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.

Thanks to our generous donors, we built and opened the Connect Africa Vocational Institute in 2018. Our graduates acquire practical job skills enabling them to pursue successful careers.

In 2005 we began our work in a cluster of 16 villages, expanding our reach to
50+ villages throughout Uganda. In 2010, Connect Africa purchased 2 1/2 acres of land in the village of Joggo, creating a community campus.

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.
