Frequently Asked Questions

Is L.E.A.D Uganda a faith-based program?

L.E.A.D Uganda is a registered local NGO in Uganda. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit in the U. S. We consider the work we do - transforming the lives of forgotten children- to be both uplifting and spiritual. We want to work with your church, synagogue, mosque, or temple to turn forgotten children into leaders and create a better future for the children of this world.

You help children become leaders. What do you mean by leader?

17-year-old Paul Ntege says it best: “We L.E.A.D Uganda students believe that we will be the change we've always wanted to see - not only our lives but also in Uganda and in the world at large. We all have dreams, dreams of curing AIDS, dreams of being teachers, dreams of being entrepreneurs, dreams of helping fellow kids, dreams of achieving in our lives, improving our country, changing Africa. But without education we will never realize these dreams. It is through the  generosity, compassion and commitment of people like you  that I and my fellow L.E.A.D Uganda scholars have been able to attend school,  transform our lives, and help others. We thank you.”

About Paul: “At the age of 12, I started working in a rock quarry to raise money for my school fees. I was trying to study and work at the same time. Through LEAD Uganda, I managed to get back on track and focus solely on my education. Today, I attend the African Leadership Academy (ALA) in Johannesburg, South Africa. I will be graduating this June. I look forward to attending college in the U. S .next fall.”
