Our Story

Empowering youth & children across 33 towns in Uganda.

Zamaani means “power” or “united force” in Rukiga / Rufumbira. Inspired by the community work our founder’s late grandfather (May he Rest in Peace) did in Kanungu District to transform lives through education, religion and philanthropy.

The Zamaani Inspire Foundation Honors his Legacy.

Our Founder's Story

Growing up in Mushunga Village, Nyanga Subcounty, near the Congo border, I witnessed firsthand the immense challenges faced by my community and the refugees fleeing insecurity.

These challenges, ranging from high cost of living, to lack of access to education, and to limited job opportunities created an environment of hardship that affected everyone, refugees and locals alike.

The influx of refugees stretched resources to their limits, leaving many families struggling to meet basic needs, and children and the youth unable to pursue their dreams.

Yet, these challenges also ignited a spark: I knew I wanted to make a difference not just for myself, but for my community. I envisioned a future where youth would have the skills and opportunities to create a better life for themselves and their families.

In 2022, I turned that vision into reality by founding the "Zamaani Inspire Foundation". A "united force" for change, built to empower communities through education, skills training, and mentorship.

Today, our journey is one of empowerment, transformation and inspiration, working alongside communities to create a sustainable impact.

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

Education Support and Mentorship

Recognizing education as the key to opportunity, we established the “Education for All Project” to help children overcome barriers to learning. Every term, 250 pupils receive scholastic materials, mentorship, and sanitary pads for girls to ensure uninterrupted schooling. By addressing these needs, we not only help keep children in school but also empower them to build a better future.

Skills Training for Employment and Entrepreneurship

Our skills training programs provide youth with the tools needed for financial independence. In partnership with Yuvraj TVS, we have trained over 6,000 youth in motorcycle mechanics, 70% of whom are female. These programs open doors to employment, entrepreneurship, and long-term self-reliance, reaching youth across Uganda eager to create brighter futures.

Building Community Through Sports

Sports unite and inspire. Through the annual Zamaani Inspire Tournament, refugees and local communities come and play together to foster teamwork, discipline, and talent development. This is more than just a game, it’s a an opportunity to nurture values, build relationships, and cultivate a sense of belonging.

Our impact

transforming lives and inspiring generations to come

Every scholastic material provided, every skill taught, every tree planted, and every young person mentored is a testament to what is possible when people come together for a shared purpose. The Zamaani Inspire Foundation stands as a reminder that while challenges may shape us, it is unity, compassion, and action that define our future.
