The Timiza Project, started in 2022, provides financial and resource subsidies to girls in Uganda in an effort to promote education. We work to promote educational equality, opportunities, and resources while reducing barriers like financial inability and teenage pregnancy.

Our mission is to aid girls in Uganda through their educational endeavors and inspire them to achieve their fullest potential.

 
 

Our Impact and Your Impact.

Donations we receive for The Timiza Project directly fund girls’ education in Uganda. Funds may be utilized to pay for books, resources, clothes, food, tuition, or any financial requirement to attend school. We can guarantee transparency with 100% of your donation.

Each amount truly counts. 1 US dollar = 3,523.40 Ugandan Shilling. The cost of living is 69% less expensive in Uganda as compared to the United States. This means your donation is exponentially more impactful for funding in Uganda, allowing for a greater impact.
