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 starting with degree programs 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 who 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 complete the renovation of 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 2024 and resulted in a 2 story building with 4 classrooms and 3 offices, including a computer lab, library, and student study spaces. This program will serve around 50 college students and 20 staff members of Musizi University in its first year of operation. 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. 49500 X 49500 This grant supported Musizi University to offer its first executive education certificate programming for 41 family business leaders in Uganda. The certificate course partnered with The Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate University and equipped participants with foundational frameworks for understanding the nuances of operating and sustaining a family business across 4 full day sessions. This supports Musizi University Foundation's mission of supporting higher education in Uganda because we enabled the first executive education program of the university with this support. 12244 X 12244 Musizi University Foundation organized its first donor trip in Uganda in 2024. This consisted of a week of programming to enable the visiting board member and donor to learn about Musizi University, visit its campus, meet future faculty, and to engage in partnership-building with 4 partner organizations. We also organized a building opening event, inviting 80 stakeholders from industry and academia to learn about Musizi University in Uganda. This supports Musizi University Foundation's mission by connecting potential donors to the human impact of the organization's work in Uganda, East Africa. 1663 X 1663 8 additional desktop computers were purchased for Musizi University's computer lab. The computers are essential equipment for Musizi University students studying software engineering, data science, and entrepreneurship. Other equipment required for IT infrastructure such as a server, switch, and phone were also purchased. Equipment required for students to engage in content production activities such as earphone, microphone, and streamdeck were also purchaed. The program will start with around 50 students. This supports Musizi University's mission of supporting higher education in Uganda by providing critical learning resources to facilitate hands-on learning. 7277 7277 70684 Takako Mino President 40 0 0 0 Elaine Alowo Matovu Vice President 20 0 0 0 Christopher Borders Secretary 5 0 0 0 Jennifer Schmitz Treasurer 5 0 0 0 Bogdan Haiducu Trustee 5 0 0 0 Queshia Bradley Trustee 5 0 0 0 Mariam Luyombo Trustee 5 0 0 0 Sheila Nabanja Trustee 20.00 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 9886 66486 79690 156062 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9886 66486 79690 156062 112491 43571 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 156062 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Header, Line I Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 - 70,684 - grant paid to Musizi Educational Foundation Limited (a non-profit organization in Uganda) in Kampala, Uganda for the following costs: renovation costs of Musizi University's first campus; executive education programming costs; and donor visit costs.
