Questions You May Have

The Kererwe Education Scholarship Initiative (KESI) is a Ugandan-based program empowering underprivileged children and youth through education. Established in memory of Mary Kererwe Katana, it provides scholarships, mentorship, and holistic development to nurture responsible, educated leaders who bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity.

KESI focuses on four core objectives—expanding educational access, promoting holistic development, advancing gender equity, and enhancing community engagement. Its work includes scholarship provision, mentorship programs, school partnerships, and community sensitization to ensure vulnerable learners gain the skills, support, and environments needed to thrive.

In 2025, KESI will award scholarships to 10 learners across five districts in Greater Bushenyi, prioritize girls’ education, establish partnerships with schools and local governments, and host three mentorship workshops to foster leadership, resilience, and socio-economic transformation through education.

Individuals, institutions, and organizations can partner with KESI through scholarships, mentorship, resource support, or advocacy. Collaborating with KESI helps expand access to quality education, promote gender equity, and strengthen community-driven initiatives that nurture future leaders and sustainable socio-economic growth in Uganda.

All Testimonials

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.
