Empower Young People in Kyaka II, UgandaThrough Skills and Digital Training

Building Skills, Creating Opportunities and Empowering Young People in Kyaka II

SKLA Foundation is a refugee-led, community-based organisation working in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement, Uganda. We are committed to empowering young people through skills development, digital inclusion, leadership and sustainable livelihood opportunities.

Many young people in our community face barriers to education, vocational training, employment and entrepreneurship. Talented and motivated young people often lack access to the knowledge, practical skills, equipment and opportunities they need to build independent and meaningful lives.

We believe that young people should not only be given hope for a better future but also the practical tools and opportunities to create that future.

Through our work, we aim to support young people in several important areas:

1. Practical and Vocational Skills Development
Supporting young people to gain hands-on skills that can help them become self-reliant, access livelihood opportunities and start small businesses.

2. Digital Skills and Literacy
Helping young people develop essential computer and digital skills, including using online platforms, digital tools, internet resources and technology for learning, communication and work.

3. Employment and Job Readiness Skills
Preparing young people to access employment opportunities by teaching them how to write professional CVs and cover letters, search and apply for jobs online, use digital job platforms, prepare for interviews and present themselves confidently to potential employers.

4. Leadership and Personal Development
Building confidence, communication, teamwork, problem-solving and decision-making skills so young people can become responsible leaders and active contributors to their communities.

5. Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Livelihoods
Encouraging creativity, business development and self-employment by helping young people identify opportunities, develop business ideas and build the skills needed to earn a living.

Your donation will help us provide training materials, learning equipment, internet access, trainer support, practical learning opportunities and community outreach activities.

We are starting with realistic, community-driven activities and aim to grow gradually as we build partnerships and resources.

Every contribution, no matter how small, can help a young person gain a new skill, discover an opportunity, become more confident and take a step towards a more independent future.

Join SKLA Foundation in creating opportunities, strengthening young people and building sustainable futures.

Thank you for believing in young people and supporting our mission!
