We do this through working with a partner university project in Kampala, Uganda, which is called Musizi University project. Musizi University is an upcoming private non-profit liberal arts and sciences university in Uganda that will offer a transformative education for students in entrepreneurship, software engineering, and data science. To accomplish this mission, we focus on raising awareness about higher education in Uganda in the US and raise funds from people want to support its development. This grant supported Musizi University project in Uganda, which is a project to start the first liberal arts college in Uganda, to renovate its first campus, which is required for the accreditation process in Uganda. Specifically, the grant enabled the following: strip out and removal, brick-laying, window-widening, tile-laying, ceiling renovation, roof transformation, interior finishing, and exterior finishing. The renovation ran from March 2023 to December 2023 and resulted in a 2 story building with 4 classrooms and 3 offices, which will serve a total of 48 college students and 10 staff members of Musizi University. This supports Musizi University Foundation's mission of supporting higher education in Uganda because we are contributing to developing the facilities that enable this education to happen and fulfill the facilities requirements for accreditation. 54500 X 54500 In 2023, 4 desktop computers were purchased to start the computer lab of Musizi University project. This lab will serve the 48 students who will be part of the inaugural class of Musizi University. This will benefit all students, who will learn IT skills, and be an important resource to students studying software engineering and data analytics. This supports Musizi University Foundation's mission of supporting higher education in Uganda because we are contributing to developing the facilities that enable this education to happen. 0 X 1623 The co-founders of Musizi University traveled for fundraising in the US and raised awareness about Musizi University. We grew our donor base from 15 to 66 donors. We visited Chicago, New York, Boston, DC, LA, and Seattle; we had 45 meetings, visited 9 college campuses, and delivered 5 talks. We were able to connect with over 50 volunteers, donors, and interns who have been supporting our project. We visited partner institutions like Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, and Claremont Graduate University. We met with many Ugandans in the diaspora, who have offered support as adjunct lecturers and mentors. This tour enabled us to raise the funds required to renovate Musizi University's first campus in Kampala, which will serve 48 students in its inaugural class, and therefore supports our mission to support higher education in Uganda. 0 7824 63947 Takako Mino President 40 0 0 0 Elaine Alowo Matovu Vice President 20.00 0 0 0 Christopher Borders Secretary 2 0 0 0 Jennifer Schmitz Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Bogdan Haiducu Trustee 2 0 0 0 Queshia Bradley Trustee 2 0 0 0 Mariam Luyombo Trustee 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Takako Mino 2078 Arleen Ct Schaumburg IL 60194 9095428394 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 0 9886 66486 76372 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9886 66486 76372 58256 18116 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 76372 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 54500 - grant paid to Musizi Educational Foundation Limited (a non-profit organization in Uganda) for the renovation costs of Musizi University's first campus in Kampala, Uganda; curriculum development and accreditation costs - this supports Musizi University Foundation's purpose of supporting the development of higher education in Uganda Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Travel;7824|Transaction Fees;77|Systems;577|Equipment;1622|Licenses;20^Total;10120^
