100% Youth-Led

Youth-Led Action.

Youth are ready to transform their communities. They need tools, not charity.

We equip young people with the skills and tools to lead change in their schools, villages, and football teams across Mpigi and Butambala. Action is our language.

7,000+ Youth Engaged

The problems we work on.

Youth in Mpigi and Butambala face everyday challenges that block their future.

The Reality

These problems affect health, learning, and futures every single day.

Young people in Mpigi and Butambala see unsafe water, missed lessons, and no clear path after school—but rarely have the backing to act. Omuto chapters turn that energy into real projects: filters, trees, and skills that move their communities forward.

Unsafe Water

Families use unprotected sources or walk long distances for water, leaving little time for learning, play, or work. We build purifiers.

Missed School

Girls and other youth miss lessons, training, or matches because they lack pads and private, safe spaces. We provide dignity.

Watch RED Story

No Clear Path

Even after exams or short trainings, many young people leave school without a clear route into work, income, or further learning. We teach skills & trades.

Voicelessness

Youth have ideas and energy, but no simple structure, mentors, or resources to turn plans into action. We give them the stage and the mic.

Why Omuto

Youth-led

Young people design, decide, and run the work—with adults supporting and consulted.

Community-rooted

Chapters grow from real needs named by students, parents, and local leaders—not imported projects.

Action-driven

Learning is tied to visible change: taps, pads, trees, stories, savings—not just workshops.

Omuto exists to make youth leadership
practical, useful, and lasting.
