Building Hope – Keeping Children in School

Building hope to ensure children’s future success – using the power of education, this is what Iowa State University’s Center for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods (CSRL) and its Uganda Program (ISU-UP) facilitate in the Kamuli District.

One key to achieving our mission is to help children stay in or return to school or vocational training.  While attending ISU-UP partner schools, children receive a nutritious school lunch each day, growing their minds and bodies.

Your support activates the power of education so youth have brighter futures and are able to achieve sustainable livelihoods. Build hope and keep kids in school.

Use the Levels of Giving as a guide for how far your dollar can go. All proceeds benefit the CSRL school programs.
