YES Scholarship Program
Founded in 1996, YES Scholarship supports the education of orphans and vulnerable children in the Kabarole District of Western Uganda. The program seeks to build future community leaders by covering the students’ school fees, boarding fees, lunch fees, uniforms, and scholastic materials as well as health care. Since its founding, YES Scholarship has helped more than 2,000 students successfully graduate.
Empowering the Poorest:
Transforming Lives Through Our Child Sponsorship Program
We work hand-in-hand with local administration, health centers, schools, and community representatives to identify potential candidates for the YES Uganda Family. We receive notifications from family members, neighbours, friends, and social workers about children in extreme poverty or dire situations. Our trained social workers then assess each family, accepting only the poorest and most vulnerable children into our program.
Once accepted, we monitor academic performance and individual development to effectively support our students. Unlike other sponsorship programs, we support some children through to university, offering vocational training and necessary equipment for those who struggle academically to start their own businesses.
We also ensure healthcare is provided and supply solar lights through one-off donations to families without basic lighting, transforming their lives and enabling children to study in the evenings.
We accept children onto our program before securing a sponsor, matching each child with the right sponsor by the grace of God. Our aim is to keep expanding and helping as many families in Uganda as we can. We could not do this without you; only with your help can we continue to run as a charity.
