Educating African Youth
Started by the Rotary Club of Calgary Downtown, this project provides advanced education or training to AIDS orphans and other impoverished youth in Africa. At the moment our efforts are focused in Uganda. Since 2011, sixty three young people have graduated and most are employed in professional and skill areas. Another 15 are in the queue to complete their education. Eight to 10 students are selected each year for advanced programs lasting between 2 and 4 years.
