Who is Tukolaganhe?
Tukolaganhe is on a mission to make a difference in the lives of children in the region of Jinja in Uganda. Through their dedicated efforts, they aim to provide support, education, and hope to the kids in need. Join us in our journey to create a brighter future for the young generation of Uganda.
How It Started
Tukolaganhe was founded in 2017 by Moses Owino and his daughter Winnie Owino from Uganda, with a clear mission: to support young people, especially the most vulnerable, in moving forward.
​
The idea came from Moses, who had hosted several volunteers in his home over the years. These volunteers—together with Moses and Winnie—were instrumental in initiating the project, including the construction of classrooms, offices, and later, the community library. Their dedication and hands-on work laid the foundation for everything that followed.
The Board of Trustees, led by our chairperson, played a crucial role in soliciting funds for the construction, with Moses contributing additional support. Lilipad Organisation, based in Germany and led by Madam Sara—who had also stayed with Moses before the project began—helped set up the library, further enriching the community resources.
​
Tukolaganhe is the result of the collaborative efforts of many friends and volunteers who believed in the vision from the very beginning, and their contributions remain an essential part of our story.
What Tukolaganhe Does
They thought, what if we create a place where children can have a real opportunity
to continue their education.​
And so they built a school in their community, Kyabirwa, who now has several projects in order to help the community. Since 2017, they have been growing little by little. Currently, they have 76 children and 5 teachers. Specifically, 25 of the students come from low-income families who cannot afford to pay for school, so the association helps with tuition.

Join This Cause
Tukolaganhe continues to grow with new students joining the school, more underserved kids receiving tuition aid, new teachers coming onboard, new amenities being built, and more and more people joining the movement helping us help them.
