Mission: REACH for Uganda (formerly the Arlington Academy of Hope) is saving lives and changing lives in rural Uganda. Our model school provides a high-quality, well-rounded grade school education. We provide scholarships for high school and beyond. REACH for Uganda has built two health clinics, assists nearby local schools to improve, and supports women's microfinance.
Results: In spite of working in a challenging and poor area, we have very strong results:- In a district with a 14% grade school graduation rate, 100% of AAH students graduate can get scholarships go on to secondary school (high school) and university. - Results of national standardized exams put AAH's grade school in the top 1% of 19,000 schools in Uganda!- Death and serious illnesses from malaria and other conditions have been reduced by the clinics' work. - Over 350 women have increased their incomes through microfinance loans.
Target demographics: give children a future through education
Direct beneficiaries per year: educate over 650 students directly, assisted over 10,000 at nearby schools, over 10,000 at the health clinic, and over 350 women microentrepreneurs.
