The Tour of Karamoja is a cycling challenge to transform lives. By joining us, you’ll help provide 20 vulnerable girls from Karamoja with a life-changing education at Matany Girl’s Vocational School.
Background
Decades of marginalization have left Karamoja facing significant challenges, including early forced marriages, child labor and migration. These issues disproportionately affect girls and prevent them from reaching their full potential. Matany Girls’ Vocational School is committed to breaking this cycle.
About the school
Matany Girl’s Vocational School equips young women with the skills and confidence to thrive. Our holistic approach includes vocational training, entrepreneurship development, and life skills to empower them to become independent and successful.
About the founder
Florence’s personal journey as a scholarship recipient inspired her to create Matany Girl’s Vocational School. Her vision is to lift rural communities out of poverty by providing girls with opportunities to succeed.
Fundraising idea
Sponsor a Kilometer: For just $1 per kilometer, you can help provide a girl with six months of vocational training, including internship, coaching, and certification.

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.
