Help 100 Youth Without Schooling Launch Real Business

For thousands of youth in Hoima & Kikuube, Western Uganda, school never came. But talent did. I am Kanizius, Founder of Youth Challenge 4 Change Uganda (YC4C Uganda). Since 2013, we have walked with youth who never finished school because of poverty. They are not a problem. They are a promise. So far we have trained 10,000+ youth directly, 60% young women. 76% are now employed or running businesses. 78% of our groups are still operating after 1 year. Like Stantel, 22. She started with 30 chicks after our training. Today she has 3,000, earns over $2,000 and employs 5 other youth. Who needs help now? We are launching 100 youth in 2027 who never accessed formal education. They have the grit, they lack the ecosystem. What is the money for? We are pooling $25,000 (UGX 92M) in 30 days to run our Entrepreneurial Leadership & Livelihood Bootcamp. This is not a handout. It is a bridge that recycles: - $25 (UGX 95k) = 1 month of mentorship + business records training for 1 youth - $50 (UGX 190k) = Patient Returnable Capital for seeds, chicks or tools. Youth repay in 12-24 months to fund the next youth. - $100 (UGX 380k) = Full 12-week incubation: Training + Coaching + Market Linkage - $250 (UGX 950k) = Full business launch kit for a Top 5 performer Your donation to our Returnable Capital pool is repaid and recycled. Give once, grow forever. Why now? 700,000 youth graduate each year in Uganda, less than 30% find work. In Kikuube, many never even reach P7. Waiting means another generation stuck in informal hustle. With your support, we turn their hustle into a formal business in the next 30 days. School never came. Opportunity will - if we fund it together. Learn more: http://www.yc4cuganda.org
