We are an indigenous non-profit organization that nurtures leaders who are committed to advancing equitable access to quality education for children in low-income communities in Uganda through a two-year teaching as collective fellowship. We recruit, train and place graduates from varied academic backgrounds to serve as full-time teachers (fellows) in underserved primary schools to improve foundational literacy and numeracy skills for children while developing their leadership skills. Post fellowship, our alumni become lifelong advocates of quality education as community leaders, social entrepreneurs, and policy influencers collectively addressing the systemic challenges that hinder children from fulfilling their potential. Teach For Uganda (TFU) currently operates in 10 districts i.e. Kayunga, Mukono, Buikwe, Bugiri, Namayingo, Bulisa, Kibaale, Hoima, Kikuube, and Kagadi; impacting over 74,000 children in 183 schools.
