Sule International Academy was originally founded as a program to help teenage mothers stay involved in their education by providing care for the children during class time. The teen pregnancy rate in Uganda exceeds 25%, so the need for this type of academy is very great.

Mr. & Mrs. Sule

As more teenage mothers joined the program, it was quickly realized that the children needed their own dedicated lessons and programming. Now, the academy continues to help young mothers with vocational training and education, and regularly hosts around 150 grade age students. The academy is run by Sule Israel George and his wife Joan, who serves as the Principle.

In Uganda, schools run by the government require fees for attendance, and many families cannot pay to send their children to school. For many who do get to attend school, they often do not finish and instead are urged by parents to find ways of making money for the family.

Our goals include:

ø Educating and empowering responsible, broad-minded professional pupils to act as future visionaries in our community

ø Stimulating creativity and providing innovative class types that surpass traditional children’s education

ø Building an open community of children, scholars, and others for free exchange of ideas to impact the community at large

ø Delivering learning that is active, creative, and ongoing among children and young people

ø Creating home-like atmospheres for orphans, broken families, and the underprivileged to find comfort and respite

ø Fighting society ills of poverty, disease, ignorance, and unemployment from a foundational level and breaking the cycle of poverty

Sule International Academy is one of a number of charity organizations in Uganda dedicated to providing free education to children and young people, making information accessible and providing each student with skills they can apply in the real world. The academy relies on donations to feed the most in-need students, cover rent for the school compound, pay teachers, and provide for all other expenses such as internet and supplies.
