Youth Outreach is a Jesus Centered initiative in Uganda that looks at transforming the needy young people in the country " Come and Follow me and I will make your Fishers of men". It focuses on the young people because 80% of Uganda's population are young people between the age of 12 to 30 years, 60% are between 16 to 30 years and that makes Uganda the world's leading country with young people. Less attention has been directed to the young people and this has led to increased HIV/AIDS in the country, Corruption, Street Children, Early Marriages, Abortion, Drug Abuse, and all sorts of evil in the country being caused by poor leadership and unemployment.
There fore Youth Outreach Uganda came up with different activities to involve the young people to so that they are transformed to become today's leaders in Uganda, Africa and the world. Activities include; Mentoring, youth outreach seminars in school, sensitization about HIV, AIDS, drug abuse, early marriage, abortion and many other evils, Teaching about Jesus as a leader to the youths so that we can have servant leaders in the country that are like Gandhi, Mandela, Jesus, Martin Luther King and many transformational leaders that the world has ever had.
Young people are known for their energy and zeal to reach out and change
lives around them. Outreach, a secular non-political network of
committed young people offers the right opportunity for young people to
do that. Here on this network youth and youth workers from a variety of
backgrounds have joined together to reach out to the under privileged
in the society. Together, they present a challenge for young people
around the globe to reach out to the needy and build a better world.

This was a School Outreach in one of the schools in Uganda. This was conducted to do the career guidance to the youth so that they can be knowing what they want and where they are going. This done to avoid " the biggest challenge faced is not people failing to understand you but you to understand your self".
We share being patient, having a vision to direct you, dedicate every
thing to the Lord. We think Mind thinking Transformation is the way for
the young people due to the fact the fact that every thing is managed by
mind. Those faces have challenges that require me and you to solve.
