Engeye Scholars
Rather than an endless stream of aid, many believe education is the key to lifting Africa out of poverty. On our visits to Ddegeya Village in Uganda, we have been struck by the value the villagers place in their schooling. It is a Ugandan's greatest hope to be able to attend not only primary school, but also secondary school and higher education programs. We admire these scholastic goals and hope to help empower Ugandans so they can create their own lasting changes and solutions. Through the support of generous donors, we have begun to sponsor students at all levels of education.
Please consider sponsoring a student of your own!

Anny Su
Anny Su, one of Engeye's most generous and reliable partners, is sending Hudson to graduate school. Hudson will begin his advanced training degree, also in Guidance and Counseling, at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. This graduate certificate will not only allow Hudson to enter the field of psychology and enable him to work with troubled youth, one of his long-time dreams, but will also provide him the tools necessary to co-found a mental health center, adjacent to Engeye Clinic.
