Changing Futures, transforming lives
Help us empower the next generation of Christian leaders through education, skills, and Discipleship.
Why Launch Uganda?
A nation in Crisis
Uganda’s youth face an overwhelming crisis. With more than 22 million children under the age of 17 and an unemployment rate nearing 50%, an entire generation is growing up in one of the world’s poorest contexts, where opportunity is scarce and the future feels uncertain.
Education without Opportunity
Families see education as the pathway out of poverty and sacrifice greatly to get their children through high school—sometimes borrowing heavily or relying on short-term sponsorships. Yet after graduation, scholarships are few, sponsorships often end, and the cost of trade school or university is far beyond what most families can afford.
Hope Cut short
Without access to further education or training, many capable graduates are forced to return to subsistence farming or menial labor, despite years of hard work and promise. Dreams are deferred, not for lack of ability or effort, but for lack of opportunity.

graduate success stories
“LU has helped me to grow spiritually through the scriptures, sermons that we listen to and the movie nights we always have. LU has also helped me to develop my leadership skills and how to associate with people and also my economic growth through the entrepreneurship class and also the job it offered me.”
— Bwakala Mark Class of ‘25
“It has helped me to live with people of different characters and backgrounds but (in) the end we learn how to be honest with one another. I have learnt how to be responsible for my own actions and mistakes. I have learnt how to be a good leader but not perfect because learning is a process and am always willing to learn if I make mistakes. Also how to be a hardworking man.”
