Education is not free in Uganda. Secondary education is not affordable for most families in the Busia District due to financial hardship. Additionally, some youth do not fair well in classroom settings, whereas other youth need a practical skill for provision as soon as possible. You can practically position a youth to become self-sustainable by providing a scholarship for 20.00 per month or 240.00 per year.
Help furnish SM Trades with tools, machinery, and kits for students. The more resources we attain, the more trades and tools we can offer. We are currently furnished to provide practical training in Carpentry and Tailory for a dozen students. Help us grow in our reach by providing more students with practical skills.
