Her story. Our Story. Your impact: Donate to Keep At-Risk Teens in School!

Margaret was just a teenager when poverty nearly ended her education. After her mother became terminally ill, her parents could no longer afford school fees. She and her three brothers dropped out of school, and relatives urged her parents to marry her off instead.

"I was on the verge of being married off against my will. Then I received the Brian Mutebi Dream Scholarship. It was God-sent. Now I have a bright future ahead of me."

Margaret received her scholarship in 2019 and graduated from university in 2024.

Her story is not unique. Across Uganda, thousands of vulnerable teenagers—especially girls—leave school because their families cannot afford education. Many are pushed into child marriage, trapping them in a cycle of poverty and lost opportunity.

The Brian Mutebi Dream Scholarship Fund exists to change that.

After losing his parents at the age of 10, Brian Mutebi nearly dropped out of school himself. Compassionate strangers stepped in and gave him the chance to continue his education. Brian went on to become the first university graduate from his village.

Determined to give other young people the same chance, he sold his only piece of land to establish the Brian Mutebi Dream Scholarship Fund.

Since then, the Fund has awarded 80 scholarships to orphans, survivors of violence, and teenagers at risk of child marriage, helping them stay in school and build brighter futures.

But funding cuts now threaten that progress. Many scholarship recipients may be forced to drop out unless new support is found.

We are seeking to raise $100,000 to keep these students in school and protect their futures.

Your donation will help a vulnerable teenager remain in school, gain the skills to build a better future, and break the cycle of poverty for themselves and their families.

A single act of generosity transformed Brian's life. It did for Margaret. Today, your generosity can transform someone else's.

Donate today. Keep a teenager in school. Transform a life for generations.
