When we first met Maeghan, she was facing a desperate choice no young woman should ever have to consider. Born in the Kosovo slum in Uganda, she struggled to survive and care for her younger siblings. With no means to provide for them, she found herself on the brink of making a dangerous decision that could have put her life and future at risk. Maeghan was trapped, with no way out—until she encountered Impact Nations.

Through the Elevate program, Maeghan learned web development and graphic design, skills that opened doors she never imagined possible. With hard work and determination, she not only graduated but was offered a position at a thriving company. Today, she stands as the Chief Operations Officer, leading a team and securing a bright future for herself and her family.

Maeghan’s story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of opportunity. But she’s not the only one. Every year, thousands of young men and women—just like Maeghan—are waiting for their chance to escape the cycle of poverty and begin their journey toward a future filled with hope and possibility.

This year alone, nearly 2,000 vulnerable youth across four nations will graduate from our programs, gaining the skills and confidence to rewrite their own stories. You can be a part of this life-changing work. Your support helps us empower young people like Maeghan to rise out of poverty and build a better tomorrow for themselves and their communities.
