It's nice to finally meet
Shanita was founded in 2019 with a vision to empower the children of Karamoja, one of Uganda’s most vulnerable regions, through education, nourishment, and holistic care. Our strength lies in our dedicated local team—teachers, social workers, and mentors—who bring deep cultural knowledge and an unwavering commitment to uplifting their community.
With the support of global partners, we’ve grown into more than an organization. We are a movement for sustainable change, driven by those who truly understand Karamoja’s challenges and dreams.
This is us
