Make People stronger

Welcome to Make People stronger ( MPS) . We are connecting hearts with community by supporting vulnerable kids in Uganda through education and healthcare.

Rural schools in central Uganda are overloaded with pupils in every class and it's becoming very difficult to provide quality education and healthcare to each kid. With majority of rural families living on less than $3 per day, many can't afford healthcare and school necessities.

MPS knows that quality education and healthcare at primary school is critical in laying a foundation of the child's development in early years and for lifelong learning.

We work relentlessly on improving education and healthcare in our rural communities through our volunteering program.

Our Space

Our approach

We partner with schools and non-profit organizations in our community, work together to establish and maintain sustainable programs of improving healthcare and providing quality education for the children. To do this, we create educational and healthcare projects within organizations and see them through with the help of volunteers and combined resources. This holistic approach enables us to do more through projects, reach more needy kids and utilize resources while maintaining very low running costs. You can help us by volunteering in Uganda or donating to our cause.

School trips

This is a special program led by students where they travel to Uganda to take part in organized education and health projects as part of the Be-Beyond Impact Program. While there, students get to experience Ugandan culture up close, take part in meaningful community activities, and learn about the country's history and natural beauty. The Be-Beyond Impact Program works with schools in rural areas to solve important education and health issues with the help of the MPS team. Students join in by working together, sharing skills, and getting involved in the community, which helps make lasting improvements. They also develop important skills like leadership, teamwork, and the ability to work with people from different cultures. These experiences offer great chances to learn about the world and build a better understanding of different cultures and the importance of helping others..

As a result, countless bright young minds are left behind, trapped in cycles of poverty.Join us in changing lives. Sponsor a child today and give them the gift of education, hope, and opportunity. Your commitment will not only transform one child’s future but ripple across families and communities for generations to come.

Rain water harvesting

Many rural schools face water scarcity leading to thirst, late classes, poor hygiene, and poor sanitation yielding life–threatening illnesses. Rainwater harvesting follows a simple low-cost technique that is easy to maintain and offers many benefits to the schools. Clean water and sanitation are key to the kid’s health at school. A water harvesting unit worth $1000 will make a huge positive change toward the school's health and sanitation.

special needs children

Uganda has very few organizations caring for children with special needs. Those that do exist are overwhelmed by the growing number of children brought to them, struggling to provide adequate care due to limited resources. As a result, many children are left with the care they need. Join us and participate in the hildren with specail needs projects in Uganda.
