Description

EDA's current project, Leaders of the Future, assists orphans in safely impoverished households in Jinja, Uganda, realize their full potential through access to quality secondary education and will continue to support these students all the way to university.

EDA believes education is the most important way for communities and countries to tackle the root causes of poverty; it offers the most viable options for a stronger and better future. Education can make a difference and effectively change the life of not just the individual but of the entire country.
