Amatsiko Preparatory School: Transforming Lives Through Education and Sustainable Tourism

It all begins with an idea.

Nestled in the heart of Uganda, Amatsiko Preparatory School stands as a beacon of hope for orphaned and vulnerable children. Founded to provide quality education, the school goes beyond traditional learning by nurturing young minds with the values of empowerment, sustainability, and community service.

A School Built on Hope and Community Support

Amatsiko, meaning "Hope" in Rukiga, was founded in 2014 with a mission to uplift children who face significant life challenges. Today, it serves over 420 students, many of whom come from underprivileged backgrounds. The school provides not just education but also psychosocial support, meals, and skills training to prepare students for a better future.

Sustainable Tourism: A Pathway to Education

One of the key elements sustaining Amatsiko Preparatory School is its partnership with Amatsiko Tours. This unique travel company promotes community-based tourism, offering immersive experiences that connect travelers with local cultures and conservation efforts. What makes this initiative even more impactful is that 20% of the proceeds from Amatsiko Tours go directly to supporting the school.

Through this initiative, visitors get a chance to engage with the students, teach skills, participate in community projects, and witness firsthand how their travels contribute to education and empowerment. This model not only supports the school financially but also fosters meaningful cross-cultural exchanges that inspire change.
