Vocation & University
Vocation & University students in Uganda
Some of the children we sponsor finish primary and secondary school and dream of becoming nurses, teachers, or engineers. Without help, those dreams die. Our Vocation & University program is small but growing – and your gift can make it possible.
Your donation goes into OKWAGALA’s account, then directly to the school to cover tuition, books, tools, living expenses, and transport. You can follow the student’s progress.
Program benefits
Your support covers tuition, books or tools, living expenses, and local transport. The student can focus on studying, not on where the next meal comes from.
You can fully sponsor a student, co‑sponsor with family or friends, or give a partial amount – we combine gifts to meet the need. The student graduates able to support themselves and give back to their community.
How you can help
These are students we already support through child sponsorship. Now they need extra help for university or vocational training. Any amount makes a difference.
