About Us
Waves of Education is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to delivering quality education to children in Uganda. Over the past three years, we have successfully raised funds to construct a seven-room primary school in the village of Galiraya, Uganda. This initiative includes not only the physical establishment of the school but also the provision of essential materials such as desks, uniforms, books, and other resources crucial for the school's effective operation.
This year, Waves of Education embarks on a new fundraising campaign aimed at constructing a secondary school in Galiraya. Our objective is to begin construction by the third quarter of 2027, ensuring continuity of education for the students who initially enrolled in our primary school initiative. Your support is crucial in realizing this milestone, empowering us to expand educational opportunities and positively impact the future of these children. Together, we can transform aspirations into achievements and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow.
Please help the children of Galiraya get the quality education they deserve!
