Help Build ARU’s New Resource Center
Dear friends, supporters, advocates, and well-wishers of transformative education in rural Africa. We're on an incredible journey of Rural Transformation, and we invite you to be part of it.
At African Rural University a Women's University, we're taking bold steps to create a hub of innovation and empowerment—a Multipurpose Resource Centre that will transform the landscape of education and rural development.
Who we are
African Rural University (ARU) is a value-based, all-women's university located in Kagadi district, Western Uganda. ARU provides transformational education that empowers women to become effective change agents within the African development context, with an educational approach that calls for a re-orientation of mindset and generating energy around visions and possibilities, rather than problem-solving.
ARU blends traditional wisdom, science, humanities, and arts into academic programs that skill women to enable transformative processes for rural communities.
ARU's education blends theory (60%) and practical application (40%), engaging students in real-life community projects. They live and work with communities, fostering a direct link between academic learning and rural transformation.
Our Aim
We aim to raise $550,000 USD to turn this dream into reality.
Resource Centre Vision
The Resource Centre is not just bricks and mortar; it's a sanctuary for growth, learning, and transformation. Your support will help us complete construction and equip it with essential facilities, including a physical and e-library, a state-of-the-art computer lab, lecture rooms, staff offices, an Auditorium, a canteen, and spaces for workshops, women's leadership circles, and meditation.
Why it Matters
There's more to this story. The Multipurpose Resource Centre is not just a dream; it's a requirement from the National Council for Higher Education—a crucial step for ARU to attain a charter. By supporting us, you're not only aiding construction but also ensuring that ARU's heart continues to beat for rural transformation and women's empowerment.
Imagine the Impact
Imagine a space where students, staff, and community members converge to shape visions, foster innovation, and generate new knowledge. This Centre will be the epicenter of our commitment to building sustainable villages, districts, nations, and ultimately, a better world.
