Co-Creating Youth Solutions Across Continents Something powerful happens when young people from completely different backgrounds realise they’re fighting the same battles. That was the heartbeat of the era92 Elevate & Belfast 2025 Exchange Program, where 20 youth from Katanga (Uganda) and Belfast (Northern Ireland) came together to dream, design, and build solutions for the challenges they share. Guided by Moreen Nassolo, the program unfolded as a reminder that even distant worlds can mirror each other. Shared Realities, Shared Purpose To set the pace,...

As we close Q2 of 2025, we are inspired by what God is accomplishing through era92 and by the voices of opportunity, resilience, and transformation emerging from our six community hubs across Uganda. At era92 Group, we deeply believe in the potential God has placed within every young person, no matter their circumstances. We are committed to rewriting the narratives of youth, particularly those from the most underserved communities. Through our training, employment, and financing model, we’ve changed stories of thousands of young people across Uganda. This...

As we wrapped up an incredible first quarter, I wanted to personally share some remarkable stories and milestones from era92. Amidst the ongoing challenges in Uganda’s slums, we continue to witness the limitless potential of the young people we serve. This first quarter has been nothing short of extraordinary proof that our model works and that scaling impact is not just a dream, but a reality in motion. At just 13 years old, Edward was abandoned by his parents. With no home, no education, and no future in sight, he took shelter in an abandoned house. But everything...

Greetings Can you believe we’re already 50 days into 2025?

Taking our programs across borders – This year, we’re making a bold move into...

Gulu. Jinja. Katanga. Kosovo. The four locations at which 850 students graduated from the Elevate Program just this week. We are incredibly proud to witness an entire cohort of young men and women wear their graduation gowns as a mark of one full year of equipping with skills in graphic design, photography, videography, website development, and motion graphics. Though many come from challenging backgrounds, today, they step into the workforce with confidence and opportunity. We have levelled the ground, and now we look forward to witnessing them apply what they’ve learned,...

As we look back on August, we’re reminded of the incredible strides we’ve made at era92 Group in our mission to create jobs for underserved youth in the slums. Each of our ventures — era92 Elevate, era92 Finance, and era92 Creative — has been hard at work, driving change and creating opportunities where they’re needed most. But first, a quick reintroduction to who we are: era92 Group is a transformative holding company that changes the stories of the underserved youth because we see them differently. We don’t just see the youth in slums as beneficiaries of aid — we see...

1st Elevate Student Becomes era92 Creative COO! Being born in a slum isn’t the worst thing that can happen to anyone, but the lack of access to opportunities and a childhood shaped by slums can be the worst thing to happen. Imagine a young teenage girl, with dreams and potential but uncertain of her future. Fast forward to today, that teenage girl is now the Chief Operations Officer at our era92 Creative! We are beyond proud to share this incredible story.  Maeghan is a shining example of the power of opportunity. She embodies the idea that brilliance exists...

The First Elevate Booth Placed in Katanga. The oft used proverb; a journey of one thousand miles begins with one step reads a lot different for a social entrepreneur: the journey of one step comprises thousands of miles! Three years ago we dreamt of a journey in which we would empower young people who many would refer to as the underserved; youth in slums, refugee camps and impoverished communities. At era92 we refer to them as the brilliant without opportunity. We dreamt of equipping them with various IT skills to enable them grow in spite of their circumstances, earn an income and...
