On July 15th, AIA intern and former Secondary Scholarship Recipient Naziwah Ramulah was honored at Riverside High School Mbazzi, during a ceremony celebrating top academic performers and transitioning the school's student leadership.

She received an award recognizing her outstanding academic performance in the 2025 Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) exams. We are incredibly proud of her hard work and dedication, and it's a joy to see our scholarship investment in her yield such fantastic results.

Congratulations, Naziwah!

Action in Africa began with the vision and dedication of just one person, our founder Nininger . Today we are a team of over 30 passionate individuals working on the ground to drive sustainable change.
Growth isn't just about numbers. It's about expanding our capacity to serve, inspire, empower, and create lasting opportunities.
Over the years our team has grown to include key leadership roles that didn't exist when we started, like Country Director, Programs Director, Human Resources, Finance, Operations, Community Engagement Manager, and Development, along with many other talented staff members.
Meet the team making it all happen! Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way.

Through our Primary Partnership Program, it all starts with the teachers. Making sure they're qualified, engaged, and supported in their own growth.

Every great classroom begins with a supported teacher.

Our Teacher Training Program equips educators with practical skills, fresh ideas, and the confidence to create engaging learning environments that help every child thrive. From professional development to child protection, creative thinking, public speaking, and confidence building, this training gives our teachers the tools to lead with both skill and heart.

We're so grateful to our partners at United , who have thoughtfully partnered with us on this program and helped make this training possible.

When teachers grow, students thrive.

We have mixed emotions as we bid farewell to our 2026 interns. As of Friday, they've officially completed the program and are headed off to university, and while we're thrilled for them, we're going to miss having them around.

Many of these students first joined Action In Africa through our primary partnership program. Watching them grow from kids in that program into young adults ready for university has been one of the true joys of this work.

For the past decade, Action In Africa has supported five to six interns annually. This year marks a major milestone, our largest cohort ever, with seven exceptional students preparing for university.

Throughout the program, these bright individuals mastered essential life and professional skills, including leadership, financial literacy, ICT, public speaking, and literacy. Combined with dedicated career guidance and mentorship, this holistic training built their confidence and equipped them to become tomorrow's doctors, engineers, tech innovators, and social workers.

Together with our donors, we're investing in the next generation of leaders. To our 2026 interns, we wish you nothing but luck as you begin your university careers. We are so proud of you.

Happy August! As we enter a new month, we're thrilled to share that our theme is introducing you to our Primary Partners...

Happy August! As we enter a new month, we're thrilled to share that our theme is introducing you to our Primary Partnership Program.

For many members of our community, this program is the entry point into our work. It's where we partner with schools to make sure students at the primary level have access to food, qualified and committed teachers, creative learning opportunities, and so much more.

This year, we're supporting five primary schools through this program in Nakuwadde, Uganda.

We're excited for you to follow along and learn more about this program throughout the month.

As we close out August, our month of celebrating the arts at Action In Africa, we'd be remiss if we didn't give a special shout out to our ambassador and celebrated Ugandan musician, .

His music has carried the spirit of this work to audiences far beyond Uganda, and his belief in what we do has meant more than we can say. We're so lucky to have him as a champion for this mission.

Thank you, Chinobay, for lending your voice to ours and for your unwavering commitment to making sure kids all over the world have access to the arts!

Meet David Paul Okiria: Inspiring the Next Generation Through Dance.

Our former scholarship recipient David Paul Okiria spent nearly a decade growing with The Center, graduating from secondary school in 2024. Though he was not selected for a university scholarship, David remained grounded, resilient, and focused on his next steps. He enrolled in a hotel management course at Kyambogo University and returns weekly as a Dance Facilitator at the Center.

David turns his lifelong passion into mentorship, teaching youth teamwork, confidence, and discipline. For just $15, donors can host a class, keeping this vital programming free for children while providing David with meaningful income to fund his sustainable future.
