Empowering the Unseen: A Path to Hope.

IEC Conference: 2025-pending

Millions of vulnerable children worldwide face systemic barriers that limit their potential, leaving them unseen and unheard.

This presentation sheds light on the transformative journey of Go So High Foundation in Uganda—empowering marginalized children through education, mentorship, and skills development.

By integrating applied interest-based learning and social entrepreneurship, we nurture young minds to break cycles of poverty and unlock their true potential. Through inspiring stories and impactful strategies, we explore how holistic empowerment creates lasting change, fostering a future where every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to rise and thrive.
