Learn About Us
Karamoja Youth Livelihood Initiative (KYLI) was established in 2021 as a CBO in Moroto District with an overall goal of promoting and nurturing youth to become future leaders and entrepreneurs with integrity, creativity, and hard work. Without the necessary education and training, youth in Karamoja lack the resources to start their own businesses and create work for themselves and their communities.
To transform lives and create lasting societal change, KYLI believes in a long-term commitment to empower youth, not only to find and create jobs but also to claim space as active citizens fighting for systemic changes in a just sustainable world.
To promote and nurture youth to become future leaders and entrepreneurs with integrity, creativity, and hard work.
To be nationally recognized as an association of excellence in empowering youth leaders and entrepreneurs with life skills such as leadership, innovation, creativity, communication skills, and business skills.
What We Do?
Our research initiative is committed to identifying and addressing the critical issues affecting Karamoja, including poverty, insecurity, school dropouts, and cattle diseases. We focus on understanding these challenges in depth to develop effective, tech-led solutions.
