Founded in 2018, Maarifasasa's vision is to be the leader of a new education revolution in Africa, to attain an empowered continent where its people are equipped to realize their greatest potential.
Maarifasasa has over the years positioned itself to become the leading go to partner for all your education and training needs. The company pioneered the expansion of the Google Digital Skills for Africa training program in Northern Uganda, training over 5,000 youth across the region.
Our Digital Skills and ICT training expertise is rooted in both Offline (on-site trainings) and Online synchronous and asynchronous trainings. Moreover, we have curated and executed ICT & Digital Skills trainings for both youth and corporates across Uganda and even in the wider East African context e.g. Kenya, Burundi, and Tanzania.
Through our global partnerships, we are now unlocking ICT & Digital-skills-based employment opportunities around the world for Ugandan & Refugee youth.
Maarifasasa is a Total Societal Impact company. We believe there's more to success than a great bottom line.
