| Maha Putri Mariam and King Isaburuuli |
Under the leadership of HRH Maha Putri Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura, Founder of WCH, and HM Constantine Mwogezi Butamanya, the King of Buruuli, the Education for Humanity (E4H) program has officially been launched. This initiative earmarks 1,000 tuition-free scholarship slots for higher education, specifically for the youth within the Nakasongola District, which boasts a population of approximately 226,074.
The Power of Digital Education: JAIN Online & USDC: To ensure the highest standard of academic excellence, the scholarships provide access to the world-class digital learning platform of JAIN Online. As a top-tier Indian university recognized for its innovation and global reach, JAIN University offers degrees that are internationally accredited and industry-aligned.
The program's implementation is managed by USDC Projects India, the exclusive executor of the E4H initiative. USDC provides the technical framework and student support services necessary to bridge the gap between rural Ugandan communities and international university standards.
A Shared Vision for the Baruuli People: The relationship between Queen Mariam and King Constantine is rooted in a shared commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education). With nearly 200,000 Baruuli people residing in the kingdom, this partnership addresses a critical need for accessible, modern education.
"By bringing JAIN Online's academic rigor and USDC’s technical expertise to the Buruuli Kingdom, we are not just giving out scholarships; we are building a digital bridge to the global economy," said Queen Mariam. "His Majesty King Constantine and I are dedicated to ensuring that the 226,000 residents of Nakasongola see their children lead as global scholars."
