FAF-USA provides grants and operational funding to empower this team to lead sustainable education programs rooted in community needs.

The Schools for Schools Program builds cross-cultural partnerships between students in the U.S. and Uganda, fostering global citizenship and raising awareness about education equity. In Uganda, this program enhances local government schools through WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) improvements, capacity building for teachers, and infrastructure support. U.S.-based students engage through pen-pal exchanges, club fundraising, and global development workshops.
