Purewish Foundation Uganda is committed to empowering vulnerable youth and women with practical skills that lead to sustainable livelihoods and long-term self-reliance. To advance this mission, the Foundation is establishing the Purewish Institute of Innovation and Technology—a vocational training center dedicated to equipping young people and women with market-relevant skills that respond to local and regional employment needs.
The Purewish Institute of Innovation and Technology will serve as a hub for vocational skills development, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The institute will offer hands-on training programs ranging from six months to one year in areas such as vocational trades, basic technology skills, entrepreneurship, and life skills.
