Help us Say ‘yes’ to more students this year

Help students gain the real-world experience and confidence they need to succeed after graduation.

At Bududa Learning Center, students don’t just learn in classrooms. They connect their training to the real world through field trips, practical projects, and hands-on learning experiences. These opportunities help them see what’s possible, meet future employers, and develop the skills to create dignified work for themselves.

Last year, our bricklaying students worked alongside graduates to build an erosion wall around the school. They learned design and detail techniques that go beyond the regular curriculum.

Agriculture students visit farms to explore different crops and livestock. Tailoring students observe new fashion trends at local markets and learn about starting small businesses from vendors—including BLC graduates.

These moments connect classroom learning to future careers.
