The Brian Mutebi Dream Scholarship Fund is a premier scholarship program for children from deprived backgrounds in Uganda. Through this life-transforming program, scholarships are awarded to boys and girls at risk of child marriage, violence survivors, and orphans in schools, technical colleges, and universities.

The Fund was established by our funder, Brian Mutebi, who harboured a dream to transform lives. Brian was orphaned at 10 and nearly dropped out of school for lack of school fees. Along this difficult journey, however, Brian met ‘Good Samaritans’ who supported him through school. Thanks to their support, Brian became the first graduate in his village in 2007! He conceived a dream, a joyful burden on his heart. “It was joyful because the thought of transforming lives was pleasant to the mind, yet a burden because I didn’t know how it would turn into a life-transforming reality,” Brian recounts. ‘Lord, how possible am I going to do this?’ he petitioned.

Brian wanted to do something that would make a real difference in people's lives. His journey of grace had made him understand that everyone needs a hand extended to them so they can realise their dreams. Convinced that education is key to transforming lives, Brian sold his land worth $1,500 and established the Brian Mutebi Dream Scholarship Fund.

“This was unconventional, as people from impoverished backgrounds like mine often seek to accumulate more rather than give away the little they have. But I was driven by a desire to transform lives,” Brian stated. The Fund has since awarded 78 scholarships to young people from deprived backgrounds who otherwise had no hope of attaining an education.

Lisa, our first university scholarship recipient, graduated from Makerere University in 2020 with a Bachelor of Laws and is now a practising lawyer. The scholarships bestow upon such girls a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

We seek to touch 10,000 lives like Lisa's. However, the task is difficult to handle alone. We need your support. Will you consider today becoming our Partner and Ambassador? Come, let's transform lives together!
