"Empower, Transform, Thrive"
We understand that true empowerment comes when individuals are equipped with the tools to shape their destinies.
At Innovation Talent Academy (ITA Uganda), we believe every young person deserves the chance to thrive—no matter where they come from.
Founded by refugees who understand the struggles firsthand, ITA is a nonprofit organization on a mission to empower marginalized youth and uplift entire communities. Whether it’s a young refugee with a dream, a single mother trying to rebuild, or a person with a disability seeking opportunity, we’re here to walk alongside them.
We know that real change begins with the right tools and support. That’s why we focus on vocational training, education, and entrepreneurship—because these aren’t just programs, they’re lifelines. From tailoring and computer skills to handicrafts and business mentorship, we provide hands-on learning that opens doors to independence and dignity.
Innovation Talent Academy (ITA) is committed to equipping marginalized youth with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities they need to overcome challenges and achieve independence. ITA’s programs are carefully designed to address the specific barriers faced by young refugees, people with disabilities, single mothers, and other underserved groups. Our initiatives aim to empower individuals, foster resilience, and create pathways for sustainable development.
