Northern Ugandan Youth Learn Skills and Build Strong Futures

Northern Ugandan Youth Learn Skills and Build Strong Futures

In Northern Uganda, young people are turning opportunity into empowerment. After years of hardship - dropping out of school unable to pay fees, sometimes raising children alone, and struggling to make ends meet - youth like Jaxon, Dante, and Elowen joined War Child’s BRIDGE program supported by @MastercardFoundation. Through hands-on training in horticulture and carpentry, they’ve learned to grow crops, start businesses, and support their families — even paying school fees for their children. Now, they’re investing their earnings into building rental rooms and hope to open workshops to train others — proving that when youth have the skills, they build stronger futures for themselves and their communities. #WarChild #BRIDGEProgram #YouthEmpowerment #SkillsForSuccess #Uganda #EconomicOpportunity #MastercardFoundation #CEFORD CEFORD-Uganda
