Programs

Entrepreneurship Training
Educate!’s flagship program, the Educate! Experience is delivered by a Mentor into secondary schools to work with selected students. Through the Educate! Experience program, 40 Scholars in each school receive direct entrepreneurship and leadership training, mentorship, and experience starting a business. Business clubs at each school make knowledge available to all students with an interest. Better Lives supports this training at Mount Masaba Secondary School in Uganda.

Entrepreneurship Advocacy
Educate! advoates for modifications to the national curriculum, exams, and teacher training so that innovations made today can help future generations. The organization encourages governments and schools to adopt their approach. As a result, the Ugandan government integrated a more practical entrepreneurship curriculum and student business club structure, modeled off Educate!’s program.
