In Uganda, our partner, Era92, operates a vocational school aimed at raising up young adults from the slums of Kampala and helping them discover their destiny.

Era92's Vision
The Era92 Elevate program's sole purpose is to empower youths-at-risk in Uganda through teaching skills in Design, Arts and Technology, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, and Sustainable Development.
By the end of this five-month program, each student will have found a client in their specific field and performed a service for them, be it designing a website, a video, screen printing or graphic designing.
The t-shirts that you voted on today were designed by those who are participated in this program and are beginning to develop their own small business.
The designer of the winning t-shirt will receive a cash prize, meanwhile all proceeds from the sale of the shirts will be reinvested in our Skills & Business programs.
