FOYE (Foundation for Youth Empowerment)

Health Education ICT Commercial
Description

FOYE (Foundation for Youth Empowerment) is a non-governmental organization registered in Uganda in 2016 with a mission to bridge the digital divide in rural Uganda through projects focused on Education, Health, and Entrepreneurship.

Impact

Our DigitalLIFT program brings computers to rural schools in Mbarara, Uganda. The majority of the young people attending these schools have never encountered a computer. For the first time in their life, they have the opportunity to learn the basics of working with electronics, accessing the internet, and gaining knowledge from technology. We believe that investing in youth is investing in the future. This program fosters economic empowerment by equipping young individuals in Uganda with valuable tech education and skills for work. This not only improves their future livelihoods, but also strengthens their communities.
