Our Mission
The mission of One Heart Uganda is to change lives through education, and in the process create a special bond between people in the U.S. and in Uganda. With so much need and so many deserving programs, it’s difficult to know how to really make an impact. One Heart Uganda is founded on the idea of “one-to-one” support, where individual and family sponsors make a significant difference in one student’s life. Through tuition support, bright students with great potential are able to attend higher quality elementary and secondary schools. Given these opportunities, the goal is for students to test and receive government funding for university education. Armed with a quality education, doors open and lives change.

Students at St. Andrew School are participating in this year’s Penny Challenge to fund Mebel’s secondary school scholarship (the equivalent of high school). Meet 13-year old Mebel, who loves mathematics, singing and Irish potatoes. When she grows up, she wants to be a religious sister. With students’ help she’ll begin a successful Senior 1 year at St. Andrew Secondary School in Lwamata, Uganda.
