Muhairwe Education Trust Limited
Supporting underprivileged and deserving students in completing their higher education and providing equal opportunities through the development of educational facilities and research.
About Us
Muhairwe Education Trust Ltd (METL) is a non-profit organization set up to give hope to the disadvantaged children through higher education and research.
The Ugandan government introduced Universal Primary Education and Universal Secondary Education as part of its policy to provide free education for every family.
However, education after secondary education is prohibitively expensive, and the majority of children would never get the chance to continue their education.
This, in turn, means that they have no qualifications and therefore struggle to get any meaningful employment and continue in the vicious circle of poverty.
The METL aims at improving this situation by offering disadvantaged children with an opportunity to advance their career at higher institutions of learning and also promote research.
This is believed to be the most effective way of supporting development though education and showing faith and confidence in the country’s great future.
What We Do
The Trust views education as an essential requirement to sustainable economic growth and promotion of social fabric of Uganda. Higher education in Uganda has witnessed a plethora of challenges such as accessibility, affordability, and the lack of improvement of physical facilities. The Trust therefore aims at creating the greatest impact in areas, which are considered critical to the enhancement of equitable education.
