About Our Work
Our Story
At Awaken Talents Uganda, our journey began with a vision to empower the youth of Uganda, a nation blessed with a vibrant and youthful population yet challenged by socio-economic limitations. Recognizing that over 70% of Ugandans are under the age of 30, we set out to nurture and transform their innate talents and creativity into viable economic assets.
Through innovative programs like Life Spark and DREAMIC, we provide essential training in life skills, entrepreneurship, and self-confidence, equipping young people to overcome obstacles and thrive in their communities. Our commitment to holistic development encompasses not only economic empowerment but also psychosocial support, ensuring that every individual can contribute positively to society while achieving personal success.
