Voices of Change, Hope, and Empowerment
The Kererwe Education Scholarship Initiative (KESI) empowers underprivileged youth through education and mentorship, transforming lives, inspiring communities, and building a generation of confident, educated, and socially responsible leaders across Uganda.
Before joining the Kererwe Education Scholarship Initiative, my dream of completing secondary school felt impossible. Through their scholarship, I not only stayed in school but also gained mentorship that shaped my confidence and career goals. KESI didn’t just pay my fees they gave me hope and direction.
Partnering with the Kererwe Education Scholarship Initiative has greatly impacted our learners. The students supported by KESI show remarkable motivation, and their mentorship programs have inspired even those not directly sponsored. Together, we are fostering a culture of learning and compassion.
