EMPOWER CHILDREN
About us
Every child deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to unlock their full potential.
Shanita is a nonprofit organization supporting children in crisis through a long-term, educational journey.
We serve children in Karamoja, Uganda, who are deprived of the right to education due to extreme poverty, discrimination, gender, or other unjust reasons.
Support a Child
Our Scholarship Program enables vulnerable children to access education with a unique opportunity to forge a brighter future that would have otherwise been beyond their reach. We provide immediate support to children facing crisis, ensuring they have access to healthcare services, nutritious meals, and a safe space to thrive.

Karamoja Close-up
Located in northeastern Uganda, Karamoja is known for its breathtaking landscapes and a rich cultural heritage, yet faces significant obstacles like extreme poverty, food insecurity, and limited access to vital services, including education, with only 38% of children attending primary school.
Our commitment is to enhance education in Karamoja, specifically targeting vulnerable children, by rescuing them from crisis situations and providing long-term access to education and care.
