Tour of Karamoja Riders Fundraise 15 Scholarships – The annual bicycle event aims at offering vulnerable girls in Karamoja the opportunity of life-changing education at Matany Girl’s Vocational School (MAGVS). The girls come from various host communities along the Warrior Nomad Bike trail.
Current rapid development is challenged due to “decades of marginalisation” that has caused untrust in government and strong belief in traditional customs and traditions. Early forced marriages, migration and child labour are depriving girls of a future. MAGVS gives willing girls a chance of a better future.
About the school
Matany Girl’s Vocational School offers vulnerable girls the opportunity of life-changing vocational education. It does so by skilling and empowering girls with soft skills, practical skills, entrepreneurship skills and life skills to enable them to discover their self-worth in ever-competitive (job) markets.
We are excited to share our new Eco Camp at the stunning foothills of Mt Kadam and Pian-Upe Wildlife Reserve. The camp is part of the Karamoja Conservation Zones initiative.
For the fourth time I have visited the beautiful land of the Karamoja, with its beautiful people. For the second time I joined the Tour of Karamoja, the 7-day cycling trip through the hills and valleys in Uganda and Kenya.
