It costs $1,830 per year (approximately $150 per month) to provide the best education and leadership training to each of our students.
Half of the cost is school fees, room and board at the very best boarding schools.
In addition to paying school fees, L.E.A.D Uganda provides books, school supplies, school uniforms, shoes, book bags, medical care, counseling to heal our students traumas, transportation to/from school, after-school activities such as sports, school trips, academic tutoring, leadership workshops, and (for our very best students) educational trips and transportation to universities in the United States, India, and South Africa.

Slightly less than 20% covers Ugandan staff salaries and expenses for operating the house where the students stay during part of their school breaks and when they are ill. Our educational workshops are also held at the house. The house is our student’s “safe” place and it is the only home for our double orphans.
