The name MUKISA comes from the biggest local spoken language in Uganda - LUGANDA - and means "chance". We have chosen this name as we want to give few kids in Uganda the chance to visit a good school and giving them a better chance in the future to find a great job or going to University.

 

Who we are

We are a private, non governmental, non profit organization, who has decided to improve the life conditions of few kids in that way, that we give them the possibility to go to a good Ugandan school and to have a better chance to learn a job in their future.

What we do

We give kids from Uganda the possibility to have a adequate school education to smoothen their way in a successful own future and to change their life dramatically.

We really love what we do

Katrin Kühhirt, German, Pharmacist

 

Katrin has lived and worked the whole year 2013 in the Swiss NGO "Kids of Africa". During her work she had the chance to know many kids living in the community around who have no possibility to go to a school. Katrin has started this iniative during her stay in Uganda as well as after she returned back to Switzerland by founding our association. She knows the kids we support very well and continues to travel to Uganda in regular time frames to evaluate the situation there as well as to assess the development of the kids in a longterm approach .

Christel is a closed friend to Katrin and has visited her in Uganda in 2013 while Katrin was living there. During her stay she had the chance to meet the kids and see the Ugandan life circumstances. She is confident about this project and supports the project to help our kids getting a great chance to have a good education and future in their lifes.

These kids have such a good possibility with our help where they have never dreamed of. The chance to go to a school and getting a great job later is not given to most of the kids in Uganda where a family lives on a daily income of approximately 1.25 CHF per day.
