Uganda Gatsby Trust
Uganda Gatsby Trust (UGT) was founded in 1994 through a partnership between the Gatsby Charitable Foundation (GCF) UK and the Faculty of Technology of Makerere University in Kampala. Its original idea was to support manufacturing and value adding businesses with consultancy services to micro, small and medium entrepreneurs (MSMEs) and by linking final-year students at Makerere’s Faculty of Technology with MSMEs. UGT’s current focus is to promote linkages with Makerere University as well as promote the academically gifted but challenged students through scholarships in disciplines that promote skills for self-employment and/or employability.
