Kisoboka Africa is a financial inclusion and youth empowerment Organization, focused on improving livelihoods of rural communities through ensuring financial inclusion and equipping youths both in schools and out of school with essential knowledge to help them live to their full potential.
School Community Banks (SCOBA)
Under the SCOBAs, we collaborate with schools and the community to form financial empowerment platforms. The parents are organized into savings and lending groups based in schools. They meet weekly to save money, share knowledge and borrow to start income generating activities. In the weekly meetings parents are equipped with financial literacy, entrepreneurship, agricultural skills and knowledge that they utilise to effectively invest money they have borrowed to boost their incomes. During the weekly meetings, our staff and the schools leaderships sensitize parents about the importance of education. Parents also get a chance to interact with teachers about their children`s education.
Young Savers Clubs(YSC)
Kisoboka Africa’s Young Savers Clubs Program is a unique initiative that empowers school-going children in Uganda to become financially savvy and entrepreneurial. The program teaches children how to save and invest their money wisely, and how to start and run their own businesses from their savings. The program also fosters leadership skills among the children, who manage their own clubs and investments. These are essential skills and knowledge that are not taught in school, but are vital for the future success of the children and their communities. By participating in the program, the children learn to overcome the challenges of poverty and unemployment that many adults face, and become the next generation of entrepreneurs who can create positive change in their society.
