About us
Teach For Uganda (TFU) is a locally-rooted and globally informed leadership development organization that is fully registered since 2016 as a non-profit organization in Uganda. We leverage the power and knowledge of promising future leaders to ensure that one day, all children in Uganda will attain an equitable quality education, enabling them to thrive in constantly changing economies.
Through our 2-year Fellowship, we recruit and train Uganda’s top university graduates and young professionals from all academic backgrounds into full-time teacher-leaders and place them in high-need rural and underserved government schools to drastically improve the learning and life outcomes of children in far-flung communities.
Our Mission
To nurture leaders who are committed to advancing equitable access to quality education in low-income communities.
Our Vision
One day, all children in Uganda will attain an equitable quality education.
Our Core Values
1. Children first
We put children at the center of everything we do and we work tirelessly to provide for them meaningful experiences that allow them to realize their fullest potential.
2. Sense of possibility
We believe that nothing is impossible and we work hard to achieve our goals above and beyond what is expected of us.
3. Constantly learning
It is only through learning that growth is achieved. We encourage reflection and appreciate feedback as a practice, constantly searching for new knowledge from books, research and articles to deepen our understanding and bring innovation to various aspects of our work.
4. Humility and respect
We treat each other with dignity and respect, appreciate each other’s strengths, perceptions and experiences and acknowledge our own limitations. We value our relationship with communities, leaders, schools and parents and constantly engage them to advance our work of providing an excellent education to all children.
5. Teamwork
We support and challenge one another, work cooperatively with enthusiasm and appreciation, respect each other’s views and make our work environment fun and enjoyable.

It takes commitment to deliver quality service and each day we strive to be the best in our work, culture, relationships, and innovations.
