Education in action · Figures reported by EdFund Uganda Foundation ↗
EdFund Uganda Foundation, Inc. is a US-based 501(c)(3) private educational nonprofit dedicated to restoring historic education infrastructure and bringing new technology into the classrooms of Eastern Uganda.
Many schools built in the 1950s fell into disrepair or closed following the political instability of the Idi Amin era. With inadequate government funding to renovate these structures, EdFund’s school rebuilding work fills a critical infrastructure gap.
By supporting institutions such as Kamuli Township Primary School, which serves 2,500 children, EdFund connects improvements to school buildings with better access to education and technology.
Our Vision
Help Uganda’s children today become Uganda’s leaders tomorrow.

Life along the main street
These photographs show Kamuli Municipality as recently as 2020: unpaved roads, animals sharing the main roadways and vendors selling goods along the edges of the main street. With more than 50,000 residents, Kamuli Municipality is the administrative centre of a district with a population of roughly half a million.

Progress on the roads. Challenges remain.
Government investment has improved infrastructure in recent years, and many streets in Kamuli Municipality are now paved. Yet poverty remains a significant challenge. World Bank estimates based on the 2019/20 household survey put around 42% of Uganda’s population below the then international poverty line of US$2.15 per person per day (2017 purchasing power parity).

School buildings need investment, too.
Public funding for school improvements remains limited. Older school facilities need substantial investment, and many buildings date from the initial school construction of the 1950s.

Rebuilding spaces. Opening opportunities.
EdFund Uganda Foundation stepped in to help fill that gap. Over the past 15 years, EdFund-supported work has helped rebuild classrooms and dormitories at Kamuli Township Primary School, serving 2,500 boys and girls in grades P1–P7.
