Join us in Building Tomorrow
What We Do
To us, Building Tomorrow means creating a brighter future by improving student outcomes in underserved communities. Our programs all serve that singular purpose within Uganda.
Thriving Schools Program
In Uganda, only 35% of children who enroll will complete primary school and 85% of rural Grade 3 students are unable to read, write, or do basic math at a Grade 2 level.
We deploy Building Tomorrow Fellows to develop thriving schools that are accessible by all children and committed to producing positive student outcomes.

Primary School Construction
31 million children in Sub-Saharan Africa wake up every single day without a school to attend.
We work hand-in-hand with local communities and governments to construct new primary schools where no formal primary school exists.
