This week we officially kickstarted the skilling of 75 youth from Karamoja in hospitality, tourism and site guiding.
Uganda is one of world’s youngest countries and is facing a huge challenge with its unemployed youth. On the contrary, there’s a lack of skilled staff in the tourism and hospitality sector in the country.
As Karamoja Tourism Academy, we aim at bridging the gap through skilling our youth from Karamoja and matching them with job opportunities through work-based learning program.
The Tour of Karamoja is more than just a bike event. It is an opportunity to experience the rich culture and stunning scenery of least travelled East Africa. Riders will meet different cultures, see untouched landscapes and create opportunities for the most vulnerable girls in this area.
Karamoja Uganda’s Land of Warrior Nomads – National Geographic photographer David Pluth made his first trip to Karamoja and Kidepo Valley National Park in early 1997. It started as a simple picture book and got completely out of hand.
