The Jane Matovu Foundation identifies and supports underprivileged, disadvantaged, and vulnerable children who face serious barriers to accessing quality education.

Many children in rural communities have the ability, discipline, and ambition to succeed, but their education is often interrupted by poverty, lack of school fees, limited access to scholastic materials, and difficult family circumstances. The Foundation responds by paying school fees, providing essential learning materials, and supporting children to remain in school long enough to build meaningful futures.

Our goal is not simply to take children to school for one term or one year, but to walk with them through a sustained education journey that gives them confidence, stability, and hope. The Foundation aims to identify and support at least fifty children from selected vulnerable families. Where possible, support will continue up to college level, provided that students maintain a good academic record, demonstrate discipline, and remain committed to their studies.

Shared Responsibility

Beneficiary families are encouraged to take part in the education journey. After an agreed period, families receiving economic sustainability support will be expected to cost-share scholastic materials and other mandatory school requirements. This approach promotes responsibility and makes education support a shared commitment between the Foundation, the student, and the family.

Vocational and Technical Pathways

The Foundation also supports adult youth who dropped out of school because of lack of tuition, limited academic opportunities, or lack of interest in traditional education, but who still desire to acquire practical skills. These young people may be supported to pursue training in plumbing, tailoring, hairdressing, cosmetology, carpentry, and other marketable skills.
