Uganda Unites is a national youth-led movement that connects youth from different religious and ethnic backgrounds to equip and inspire them with peacebuilding and leadership skills to become agents of change and make their communities better places to live. With more than 10 major conflicts and over half a million deaths since independence, we promote a culture of nonviolence and peace among our youth who make up 75% of our population. Uganda Unites is committed to developing future young, diverse leaders from grassroots communities to deliver our long-term vision of a peaceful country. We inspire them to start community development projects and initiate peace clubs in their schools, universities and communities. We do this through School Relation Tours as well as a Future Leaders' Conferences that have engaged 9,696 youth to-date. A marker of our success is that 73% of the youth engaged have signed up as members of Uganda Unites and now champion our cause supporting the creation of a peaceful and cohesive country.

Overall Goal An enlighten and empower communities working together to build a sustainable future for all Ugandan people Description of the activities The organization is strongly community oriented; it actively engages with youths, women, community elders and church leaders to help identify youths below 30 years of age, targeting nearly all school dropouts, for its programs. Safeplan Uganda is geared towards "supplementing what the government is doing for the local youth" as it recognizes that the government is not able to fully support what the "community youth need and deserve". Safeplan's understanding that "there is a need to help the youth help themselves" has led to its programming in livelihoods skills training.
