My Nonprofit Reviews

Action in Africa strives to Educate, Inspire, and Empower people in Uganda by focusing on education and community development. The goal is to provide sustained education, allowing individuals to reach their untapped potential and incite economic growth by becoming the next leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs in their country. In order to revolutionize their approach, they have developed three bold models that facilitate the achievement of their objectives: Scholarship not Sponsorship, Zero Handouts, and Community Generated Offerings.

After recognizing the lack of safe after school activities for kids in the village and the requests of parents to have adult education lessons, they also decided to open a community center. In 2014 they officially opened “The Center,” a community facility that serves as a place for people in Nakuwadde to Be, Belong, and Become. The Center offers daily after school, creativity-based programming for kids in the village as well as weekly programs for adults.

Because of these approaches, Action in Africa has made a life long impact on this community and continues to be the model for success for these types of programs. It's truly the best of its kind.
