Kyanja High School · Ecoloop Project · Zayed Sustainability Prize 2025 · $150,000 USD Global Winner
Kyanja High
Won $150,000.
After Omuto installed the SLF and GreenSchools system at Kyanja High School, the student leadership team launched Ecoloop — an environmental innovation project that won the Zayed Sustainability Prize, one of the world's most prestigious awards in sustainable development. The prize money goes to the school.
Omuto's role was not to build Ecoloop. Our role was to train the leadership system that made it possible — the planning skills, the accountability tools, the confidence to act.

Train the system. The students do the rest.
When students are trained to lead, they build things no one expected.

What Each
Programme Has Done
Broken down by the four active programmes inside the School Xperience system.
Leadership
& Debate
Prefects across 40 schools trained in ethics, public speaking, project management, and conflict resolution. Termly interschool debate championships run across Mpigi and Butambala.
Menstrual
Dignity
Reusable pad distribution, hygiene education, peer support, and school assembly sessions ensuring no girl loses schooling days due to her period. Seven active RED Brigades running student-led outreach.
Environmental
Action
Student Green Teams lead tree planting, school gardens, and composting projects — all documented and reported. The GreenSchools framework produced the Kyanja Ecoloop team that won $150,000 globally.
Clean Water
in Schools
Spouts Purifaaya ceramic filter installation in schools, maintained by trained student teams. Zero firewood used for water boiling. Waterborne disease risk from drinking water eliminated in participating schools.
Enterprise & Community
Two programmes that sit outside the school system — building income, confidence, and community ties.
Skills that
Create Income
25+
Graduates from first cohort building businesses
Practical entrepreneurship training run at Mpigi and Kampala centres. Graduates learn business planning, financial literacy, and production skills — then apply them. One tailoring graduate now produces reusable pads for local schools, creating personal income while supporting the RED Campaign supply chain.
Leadership Through
Sport
500+
Youth engaged through the Omuto Cup
The OFA uses football as a gateway for leadership development, discipline, and peer education. The Omuto Cup draws teams from across Mpigi and Butambala — reaching young men who are not in school programmes through a format they already love and trust.

Pulse & Essentials
Two arms of Omuto that amplify stories and generate revenue — both reinvested directly into programmes.
Youth Media
& Storytelling
100+
Youth journalists and content creators on platform
Omuto Pulse is the media and documentation arm — a platform for youth journalists, photographers, and content creators across Mpigi and Butambala to tell the stories that mainstream media misses. Every Omuto programme is documented through Pulse. Every graduation, every campaign, every Omuto Cup match has a record.
Products That
Fund Programmes
100%
Revenue reinvested into youth programmes
Omuto Essentials produces and sells youth-made goods — reusable pads, skin jelly, dignity kits. Every purchase funds a programme. Every product is made by a YoSkills graduate or employed youth worker. The supply chain is the impact: when you buy, someone who trained with Omuto earned.
We measure what
we do. We publish
what we find.
We fix what
doesn't work.
Every programme has a scorecard. Every term produces a documented report. Youth leaders themselves review outcomes at the end of each school year — if a project didn't deliver, we say so in the annual report.
Impact is not measured only in numbers. A prefect who plans a school project alone for the first time is a result. A girl who stays in class through her period is a result. We track both.
Who Recognises
