Who We Are
Three young changemakers, one promise to girls
NALA Charity Initiative began in 2026 in Ongino Sub County, Kumi District, Uganda, founded by three young changemakers determined to rewrite the future of vulnerable girls.
Today, we work with families, schools and local leaders to remove the things that push girls out of education, including unpaid school fees, missing school days during menstruation, hunger, early marriage and a lack of someone to believe in them.
- We focus only on girls, from Primary One to their first job
- Every girl is known by name and followed up each term
- We report openly on what we spend and the changes we make
What We Do

Every contribution can help us reach a girl who needs support. Together, we can create meaningful and lasting change.
A single gift of exercise books, pens and a mathematical set can be the difference between a girl staying in class or staying home.
Our Story
From a broken dream to a blooming future
NALA was born from real, lived struggle. Our founder, Joy, nearly saw her education cut short by unexpected and overwhelming life challenges.
When the doors of opportunity seemed to close, a generous sponsor stepped in and funded her education. Because of that single act of kindness, Joy didn't just finish school. She is now a practising Human Resources professional.
Read our storyHaving almost lost her own future, Joy promised to give other girls that same second chance. NALA is the fulfilment of that promise.
