From the classroom to a career.
A young person can pass every exam and still find no road into a career. Empower a Future Leader walks that road with them, from their final school years through trade school or university and into a livelihood. You’ll hear about the moments that matter: an acceptance letter, the first day of an internship, a business sign with their name on it. And we stay until they’re launched into a career.

Our students earn their own scholarships. We don’t pay tuition. We fund the support that helps a scholarship become a degree, and a degree become a career.

Why empowering leaders matters.
Uganda is one of the youngest countries in the world, full of young people ready to work, build, and lead. But finishing school doesn’t guarantee a way into a career. Our graduates now serve as nurses, teachers, social workers, and business owners, and most go home to lead in the communities that raised them, so the next generation grows up seeing what’s possible.
One launch can change a whole community.
Empowerment in action.
Meet Barbara.
Barbara joined Children of Grace at eight, too shy to speak to strangers. Today she’s a finance graduate of United States International University–Africa who leads, speaks to crowds, and wants to open doors for other young people.
“It is investing in who that child can become.”
