GPSU Program Areas ProjectsProjects

Through our human centered design approach, Global Pathways to Success Uganda (GPSU) implements four program areas of Health Promotion Program (HPP), Education Development Program (EDP), Poverty Eradication and Household Income Program (PEAH) and Community Solutions Against Hunger Program (CSAH). Respective programs initiate various projects according to community needs. The following are the current projects being implemented by the organization.

Solutions Against Hunger Program (SAH)

Hunger is the leading cause of death in the world.in Uganda today, only 20% of the population can afford the three basic meals a day despite the countries’ existing natural resources. Globally, our planet has provided us with tremendous resources, but unequal access and inefficient handling leaves millions of people malnourished. If we promote sustainable agriculture with modern technologies and fair distribution systems, we can sustain the whole world’s population and make sure that nobody will ever suffer from hunger again.

Education Development Program (EDP)

The education sector in Uganda is constrained by many challenges. These include a high level of teacher and student absenteeism, weak school level management structures, inadequate availability of learning materials, lack of scholastic materials for learners and large class sizes. GPSU has joined government and supporting stakeholders to improve children’s access to their basic right to education through various projects.

Health Promotion and Advocacy Program (HPP)

There are many health challenges affecting communities in Uganda. These range from access to essential medicines, access to information, lack of enough health facilities and the few existing ones are now well equipped to the required standards. GPSU is supporting the government effort through advocacy and other related projects with focus on improving availability and accessibility to health services.

Poverty Eradication and Household Income Program (PEHI)

At Global Pathways to Success Uganda, Eradicating poverty is not a task of charity, it's an act of justice and the key to unlocking an enormous human potential. Still, over 70% of the population in Uganda still live-in poverty, together, we can feed the hungry, wipe out disease and give everyone in the world a chance to prosper and live a productive and rich life. GPSU is implementing a number of projects towards helping the poor get out of poverty in Uganda.

Aguu Kids Back to School – School Supplies and Monthly Food Support Campaign.

Aguu Kids Back to School is an urgent initiative of Global Pathways to Success Uganda (GPSU) supporting vulnerable children living in the Aguu Laroo camp in Northern Uganda.Many of these children are orphans or without regular parental care and struggle daily with hunger, neglect, and the risk of dropping out of school.

Through this campaign, we aim to provide school backpacks, books, uniforms, stationery, and monthly food supplies so that Aguu children can return to class on February 2nd 2026 and stay there throughout the term.

Our team and local volunteers organize distributions directly in the camp, monitor the children, and work with community leaders and teachers to ensure that support reaches those most in need.Donations also help with basic logistics for field visits and documentation so we can transparently share impact stories with supporters.

We welcome both one-time and recurring gifts—every contribution, small or large, makes a tangible difference by keeping a child in school and providing a consistent source of food and hope.To join or partner with the Aguu Kids Back to School and monthly food support programme, please contact Global Pathways to Success Uganda at +256774307955 or gpsu03@gmail.com, or scan the QR code on the campaign flyer for direct giving options.

Success Story: Stakeholders of Mayuge District Share of a Jigger free Busoga
