“For the Students”
Y'ABAYIZI
(ya-ba-YEE-zee)
Y’Abayizi is Gotta Have HOPE Inc.’s tuition assistance program which benefits past, present, and future students of St. Joan of Arc (SJA) Primary School in Mawuuki, Uganda. Through this program, Gotta Have HOPE provides need-based tuition assistance, allowing children from the surrounding village and beyond to attend the nationally ranked SJA Primary School. In the future, graduates of SJA may also apply for assistance with secondary school and university tuition through Y’Abayizi as they continue their educational journeys. Currently in its inaugural year, the program is supporting 117 SJA students, with many more ready and waiting to join as additional funds become available.
“For the Home”
Y'AWAKA
(ya-wa-KAH)
Y’Awaka is an Adult Education and Agriculture program modeled after our KMD Cow Project designed especially for the adults in Mawuuki and other surrounding villages. This program integrates academic and agricultural education for all members of the household and progresses through topics such as reading & writing, hygiene & sanitation, cooking, current farming practices, livestock rearing, personal finance, and business & marketing based on the needs and aspirations of the family. Led by a Ugandan adult educator on staff at SJA, Y’Awaka will kick off this year starting with 75 local families.
