Our Work

Second Chances for Teen Mothers through a Goat Revolving Project: In the heart of rural Ugandan villages, where opportunity appears to taunt just out of reach, Edemel is reshaping the story for girls who are written off too soon. We are rewriting futures in an area where teen pregnancy all too often means the end of a girl's education, we are providing second chances. Her project provides young mothers with a goat—a small yet life-transforming asset. These goats are more than livestock. Geographic Focus: Eastern Uganda Subregions & districts:

The  Mastercard Foundations Young Africa Works Initiative, is designed to unlock the potential of young people in Uganda by equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to thrive in today’s economy. Through this transformative program, we are empowering youth especially young women to find dignified and fulfilling work.

We are implementing this initiative in partnership with BrighterMonday by delivering both the; institution - based soft and employablity skills training, and the community - based entrepreneurship and small business training to thousands of youth across 11 districts in Bugisu Subregion, and parts of Busoga and Bukedi Sub regions all in Eastern Uganda. We partner with local governments, communities, training institutions, and employers to ensure that young people not only learn but also transition successfully into employment or self-employment spaces.

Together, we’re building a generation that works, leads, and shapes a better future for Uganda.

At Edemel Learning Foundation, we believe that meaningful change begins with strategic collaboration. That’s why we have partnered with over 15 institutions including; Allied Health Institutions, Nursing Colleges, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, and Universities across Eastern Uganda to prepare the next generation of professionals for the demands of a rapidly evolving workforce.

These partnerships enable us to deliver targeted soft skills, entrepreneurial mindsets, and practical job-readiness training directly to students pursuing careers in healthcare, technology, education, and beyond. Our joint efforts ensure that learning is not only academic but also grounded in real-world expectations bridging the gap between the classroom and the labor market.

By working hand-in-hand with training institutions, Edemel Learning Foundation is contributing to a national vision of a skilled, empowered, and resilient workforce ready to take on tomorrow’s challenges.
