Education & Sanitation Projects in Uganda

Speakers for Africa is a U.S.-based nonprofit improving education, sanitation, and student well-being through sustainable community partnerships in Uganda.
 

For more than 25 years, we've worked alongside local communities to provide educational resources, improve school sanitation, expand access to clean water, and create opportunities for young people to thrive.

Our commitment to transparency means every donation supports real projects with measurable impact and regular updates for our supporters.
 

Through digital storytelling and international partnerships, we connect communities in Uganda with supporters, schools, and volunteers in the United States—building lasting relationships that inspire learning, cultural exchange, and positive change.
 

Together, we're creating healthier schools, stronger communities, and brighter futures.

Classrooms Need Repair

Speakers For Africa is a Colorado-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports disadvantaged students in Uganda. We are raising funds to rebuild classrooms for students in Uganda. Younger children (many of whom are orphans) are forced to study in a building on the brink of collapse.

Pit Latrine

In Uganda, inadequate sanitation remains a critical public health challenge, particularly in remote areas such as Kiruhua District in Western Uganda. Poor access to proper facilities contributes to the spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera and diarrhea, which affects children and vulnerable populations. 

PROJECTS

Uganda Youth Aid School

A nursery and primary school in Mbuya, Kampala, Uganda. 

Over the past 4 years, we have supported various programs—from sports and tech to food, fees, and supplies. 

Ghetto Research Laboratory 

Self-made researchers experimenting with ways to clean up the environment. 

Nazarene School, Serere, Northern Uganda. 

Orphan students at this school need our help. With very little, we can help save lives in the severe conditions of Northern Uganda. 

TLC Youth Center 

The TLC youth center in Kampala provides sports, education, dancing and chess. These are essential outlets for young people battling the harsh living of underprivileged neighborhoods in Kampala.  These kids have a safe place to come to better themselves.
