LEAD-HU is a 12-month youth leadership and ethical development initiative designed for secondary school and university students in the Mbarara district of South Western Uganda. The project will conduct structured training workshops and distribute 150 detailed training toolkits covering ethical reasoning, empathy in leadership, and non-violent conflict resolution. Additionally, it will establish monthly student-led peer dialogue circles across four participating educational institutions to analyze governance and belief diversity.
Problem/Issue:
Educational institutions in Uganda rely on hierarchical, authoritarian leadership structures that suppress critical inquiry and treat independent questioning as indiscipline.
No. of Beneficiaries: 337
Impact:
The initiative will train 200 student leaders in ethical reasoning, form four active peer dialogue circles, and reach over 5,000 indirect student beneficiaries to establish a sustainable, non-violent youth leadership model.
