The Bursary Scheme is part of our larger mission to:
We envision a future where every child in Uganda has the opportunity to access quality education, regardless of their financial struggles. No child should be forced to abandon their dreams or potential simply because their family cannot afford the cost of schooling. By breaking these barriers, we aim to create a generation of empowered children who can thrive, succeed, and contribute to a brighter future for their communities.
The program identifies children from low-income families who are at risk of dropping out of school or never enrolling due to financial hardships. Once selected, these children receive full tuition sponsorship for primary, secondary, or vocational education, ensuring they have access to uninterrupted learning. In addition, they are provided with essential school supplies such as books, uniforms, and stationery to ease the financial burden on their families. Beyond material support, the program offers mentorship and guidance to help foster academic success and personal growth, giving children the confidence and motivation to overcome challenges. This holistic approach ensures that each child not only stays in school but is equipped with the tools and support needed to thrive academically and build a brighter future.
Education is a fundamental right and a powerful catalyst for change. Many families struggle to afford school fees and supplies, leaving countless children without access to quality education.
The Bursary Scheme, part of ELOI’s mission, aims to bridge this critical gap by providing the support these children need to access quality education and unlock their full potential.
Through this initiative, ELOI is not only investing in individual futures but also fostering a more educated, empowered, and resilient community.
Every child supported through ELOI’s Bursary Scheme represents hope for a better tomorrow — for themselves, their families, and their nation. Through education, we’re not just helping individual students; we’re transforming entire communities.
“More than sponsors, they are our protectors and companions; although far away, their help changes the lives of every one of us, daily.”

“ELOI put me on the right track because they taught me what it means to be an agent of change: to be a social actor within communities that are often marginalized.”
