GAYAZA YOUTH CBO
In rural Uganda, many families face poverty due to unemployment, lack of knowledge and life skills, limited healthcare access, and harsh climate impacts. Young people drop out of school, teenage pregnancies remain high, and women struggle to find economic opportunities. We exist to bridge these gaps—empowering communities to rise above these challenges with dignity, opportunity, and hope.
Rural communities face interconnected barriers: poverty, unemployment, limited education, and poor access to healthcare create cycles that are hard to break.
Young people leave school early, teenage pregnancies disrupt futures, women lack economic opportunities, and climate change threatens livelihoods.
We bridge these gaps through empowerment programs that bring dignity, opportunity, and hope to those who need it most.
