Establishment
Utterlife Learning Initiative is committed to raise a generation that is empowered to excel, delivered from the hands of lack and disaster to a place of heritage where they are furnished enough to walk the paths which God has prepared ahead of time for them. God has heavily invested in every person on the face of the earth a special dream for his own glory. Through partnerships with local communities and churches, we have reached many vulnerable students and youths for career guidance, education support and the gospel in its power of transforming lives.History
Like Moses in the basket, floating among the reeds along the riverbanks, there are many of Moses’ type, weeping among the reeds of Africa in low-income societies and devastated communities among others, with their special dreams and giftings scattered and lost in thorns and bushes. Utterlife Learning Initiative has a home for each one of them to allow inclusion and awake the potential buried inside the many needy children, youths and elderly by bringing them to safety, defense, rescue, liberty, salvation, and to preserve God’s chosen ones get the victory and bring unto them prosperity and the saving grace even to life everlasting through Christ Jesus, the eternally blessed God.Scope
Our kingship pursuit of Christ is a fulfillment of a life of glory, a light of life and full of abundance. Many children of God have not yet achieved this abundance of life. We seek to help everyone find themselves, discover their seed of greatness, refine it and be able to become a tree and offer fruits to the right eaters. We do this by causing great impact like yeast in bread, permeating every sphere and offering the environment, resources and services at our disposal to see men uplifted. This sure energy in every one shall storm an abundance of fruits as we serve one another.Unemployment
Youth unemployment remains a serious challenge in sub-Saharan African countries, including Uganda. The unemployment of youths (aged 18 to 30) among the total unemployed persons in Uganda is 64%. In Uganda, youth unemployment is believed to be multifaceted most especially by insufficient employable skills (youths possess skills that are not compatible with available jobs) since the education system is focused only on academic grades. We are therefore focused at accelerating the access to tangible skills to the youths, so that they are able to create income sources for themselves and limit the rate of job search. Our target group include children from low-income societies, low or no academic grades, school dropouts, abandoned girl children, teen mothers, and adults who desire to learn a skill. Our long-term goal and aspiration are to attain a stature of knowledge and skills to establish a state-of-the-art skilling facility, with new technology equipment in village communities of Africa to offer advanced and product-oriented skills that can improve the lives of the people out of lack and poverty. This will greatly boost personal investments and cashflow among needy communities.
The Need For a Skilling Center
In East Africa [Uganda in particular] it has come to make a choice that a child goes to a better, average, or banal school according to what their parent can pay. With the greatest population of children being from poor and rural communities, the only choice is the “banal school.” The banal schools over and over have proved lifeless with poorly stocked libraries and laboratories and a few or no trained teachers. These children end up missing their future in such lifeless schools, are completely not able to walk the paths, and to do the good works predestined by God.
Utterlife Learning Initiative is established to guide such disadvantaged target groups into skillfulness to enhance access to real-life and curb the snare of poverty and unemployment. They include children from low-income societies, low or no academic grades, school dropouts, abandoned girl children, teen mothers, and adults who desire to learn a skill.
