Igniting Potential, Inspiring Progress

About Kabalega Education & Innovation Fund (KEI-Fund)

The Kabalega Education and Innovation Fund (KEI Fund) is a transformative initiative of the Kabalega Foundation, dedicated to empowering underprivileged individuals through education, skills development, and innovation.

We believe that real, lasting change happens when education is combined with creativity, practical skills, and bold thinking. That’s why we support not only academic growth but also talent development, entrepreneurship, and community-led innovation. Our work helps learners and changemakers build the tools they need to thrive in a fast-changing world.
