Keep the heart of knowledge and transformation beating
The facts below prove their impact. This progress is not told through the traditional narrative of development aid in Africa. This is a different story.

At African Rural University we are taking bold steps to create a hub of innovation and empowerment
—a Multipurpose Resource Centre that will transform the landscape of education and rural development.
Amidst Uganda’s green landscape rises the African Rural University (ARU). This all-women institution provides transformational education that empowers women to become effective change agents within rural communities of Uganda, with an educational approach that calls for a re-orientation of mindset and generating energy around visions and possibilities, rather than problem-solving.
Communities are building climate resilience lifestyles and businesses that match their own values and aspirations.
Through partnerships at all levels, we learn from each other and develop a self-reliant future for the African continent. We build on our common values, natural resources, our rich history and culture. Traditional Wisdom Specialists transfer their skills and knowledge of cultural, technological and natural heritage to the next generation of leaders that ARU breeds.
These visionary, transformational leaders set an example to what development in African countries can look like.
To keep our recognised status as a university and scale our model, we are building a resource centre. A knowledge hub where students, teachers, local communities and policy-makers can come together to learn, create partnerships and build transformative action plans.
By donating you can contribute building blocks to our resource centre.
Moreover, you can be part of a movement. That makes room for young Ugandan women to take the lead in the development of their own country.
Through partnership and co-creation we will cultivate true transformation of the African continent.
