our
work
We focus on social enterprises that promote education, health and economic development. Each social enterprise works independently but in support of each other, cycling the profits back into the community through education scholarships and medical assistance.

nursery & primary schools
Our education team is committed to seeing the children develop into strong champions who will drive the future development of their country. Expanding off of the Ugandan curriculum, our teachers strive to offer a holistic learning experience focused on leadership, creative thinking, literacy, and practical life skills. Additionally, the children partake in many extracurricular activities that include soccer, volleyball, netball, track and field, arts and crafts, music, dance, drama, and agriculture.
In 2018, Musana Nursery and Primary School ranked as a top school in Iganga District and was promoted by the Ugandan government as a center of excellence. We are known for our high educational standards, exceptional living conditions and most importantly, our emphasis on being a Christ-centered loving home to all the children who enter our gates.

vocational high school
Musana Vocational High School (MVHS) stresses leadership and character building, as well as pushes creative thinking and literacy to the next level. In addition to the core curriculum, students take courses in trade skills such as plumbing, construction, electrical, and tailoring.
As a result, these young adults are being equipped mentally and physically for the next chapter of their lives, with the character and skills to continue their education at university, utilize their trade skill to secure a job, or both.

scholarships
Musana’s scholarship program strives to pave a road of opportunity for Uganda’s youth who were born into circumstances in which they have lacked choice. Through the provision of scholarships, we refuse to see potential wasted. On the contrary, we are tapping into the greatness of Uganda’s youth that has been masked by economic class to raise the next generation of transformative leaders.
Each year our social workers identify the most vulnerable children who would not get an education otherwise, offering them a position at Musana schools. We intermix these children with all the other students from the community, keeping them anonymous so they can go to school with dignity, free from the stigma of being vulnerable and in need. Furthermore, our social workers check-up and counsel the children’s relatives, working directly to improve not only the quality of life for the children, but the entire family.
higher education scholarships
After our scholarship students graduate from Musana schools, we offer them a chance to apply for a higher education scholarship at a university or trade school. We also support long-serving and dedicated staff members with the chance to return to school and upgrade their qualifications.

village health outreach
In the most rural areas of Eastern Uganda, access to health care is challenging. In response to the needs of these communities, Musana’s Social Work Department partners with Musana Community Health Center and remote village leaders to organize health outreach events. During health outreach events, social workers and health practitioners travel to rural areas of Iganga to provide free services including malaria and HIV testing, dental check-ups and extractions, family planning, prenatal care, nutrition screenings, vaccinations, and counseling.

economic development
There is a detrimental unemployment rate in Uganda, in which 18-30 year-olds make up 64% of unemployed persons. Musana’s economic development initiatives tackle this issue by tapping into people’s creativity and potential, inspiring job creators and entrepreneurs. Acting as one of the largest training centers in Iganga, Musana equips Ugandans of all ages, educational backgrounds, and economic status in both business and practical skills.
