Welcome to Engeye Scholars!

Recent News! Through the generosity of Engeye Scholar donors, a village wide Christmas party was held on December 18th for close to 300 children. Families of our Engeye Scholars Program and the Engeye staff served as "hosts" of the celebration and helped with the preparation for the party and cooking. Photos are available here.

ETC Raises over $10,000 through the Bucks For Books Fundraising Campaign:
The Engeye Teen Connection Board Members recently led a fundraising effort to help purchase textbooks and school supplies for children in rural Uganda. The program was inspired by 16 year old Sara Weinman’s visit to Ddegeya village in February. Sara was able to witness firsthand the desperate need at the local schools near the Engeye Health Clinic. The teachers at these schools try to educate their students without textbooks and the most basic school supplies. ETC believes that education provides promise and hope for the children and the families of the village. To provide this hope and promise, Engeye Teen Connection Board Members Sara Weinman, Brian Hickey and Greg Hickey launched a fundraising effort to provide textbooks for the students at these rural schools. ETC's 17 year old Brian Hickey recently traveled to Uganda this past summer to deliver the textbooks and school supplies to the needy schools. Greg Hickey is planning on traveling to Uganda in 2012 to deliver more textbooks. Read about the summer 2011 trip to Uganda here: http://engeyeblogs.blogspot.com/

Our Mission

The Mission of Engeye Scholars is to support the educational initiative of the Engeye Health Clinic. Specifically, our purpose is to help meet the educational needs of children living in and around Ddegeya Village, Uganda.

Please help support this cause and instill hope in the hearts and lives of those less fortunate. You can make a difference and provide an educational opportunity for a child for as little as $20.00 per month. Yes you can make a lasting positive change in a child’s life.
