We seek to develop, educate and inspire youth and families in rural Uganda. Our mission is to empower children and families in rural Uganda to rise above the constraints of poverty through education and business development. IYHA was launched in 2007 to meet an overwhelming need identified by our partner communities in rural Uganda. At the time, there was a striking void – no support services of any kind were available, making the gap between individuals and national organizations exceptionally pronounced. Subsequently, our partner communities and IYHA’s founders joined forces, and have been working together to realize their shared vision since.
