We’re on the brink of a learning revolution. Education, the cornerstone of progress, is getting a digital makeover that’s set to change everything in Uganda. With innovative mobile-based financing and flexible payment plans, Furaha is making quality primary and education accessible to all. It’s not just about keeping kids in school; it’s also about enabling our educators to be more impactful and restoring the dignity of parents who want the best for their children.

Our mission? To unlock quality and equitable education through purpose-based financing that’s as smart as it is affordable. We’re tapping into the power of technology to empower learners, educators, and parents by creating a future where financial barriers don’t stand in the way of knowledge. Financial institutions play a crucial role in this mission, providing the necessary funds and expertise. From cutting-edge digital platforms to tailor-made financial solutions, we’re reshaping how education is funded and delivered. Get ready to dive into a world where learning knows no bounds.

The Current State of Education

We’re facing a critical moment in education. Despite progress, we’re seeing challenges that demand our attention and action.

Challenges in Access

Access to quality education isn’t universal. We’re witnessing declining college enrollment rates, with many students either dropping out or choosing not to pursue higher education. It’s not for lack of interest – most adults see the value in a college degree. The real hurdles? Access to timely financing, economic pressures, and extended social-family responsibilities.

Quality Disparities

The learning gap is widening. Before COVID-19, learning poverty in low- and middle-income countries was 57%. In Sub-Saharan Africa, it’s even higher at 86%. The pandemic has only made things worse, potentially pushing learning poverty close to 70%. This isn’t just about numbers – lost potential and future earnings.

Financial Barriers

Money matters – a lot. Financial barriers are the biggest roadblock to quality education. The cost of programs, inflation, and the need to work keep many from enrolling. But it’s not just about tuition. Poverty affects academic achievement at all levels, from lack of resources to inadequate funding for schools in lower-income districts.

Digital Purpose-Based Financing: A Game-Changer from Furaha Financial Uganda

We’re ushering in a new era of education financing. Digital purpose-based financing is not just a tool, it’s a revolution that’s changing the game. It’s making education more accessible and equitable, and it’s a reason to be hopeful for the future of learning.

What are we all about? 

Digital purpose-based financing leverages technology to provide targeted financing solutions for education—specifically, School Fees Financing. It’s not just about money, though; it’s about intelligent, purposeful funding that aligns with educational goals for both parents and educators. We’re leveraging the collaborative power of mobile technology, telecommunication service providers, traditional financial institutions, and alternative behavioral data sources to co-create tailored products designed for education expenses.

Benefits of Education in Uganda 

This innovative approach impacts education in a way that’s nothing short of transformative. Here’s how:

  • Increased Access: We’re breaking down financial barriers, allowing more students to stay in school and pursue higher education.
  • Improved Financial Management: Schools can manage their finances more effectively, ensuring timely tuition payments and up-to-date records.
  • Affordable and flexible propositions: We support the parents with options that fit their lifestyle, preferences, and convenience that the pressures of conventional education financing do not provide.

Implementation Strategies

To make this a reality, we’re focusing on:

Developing high-quality, culturally inclusive digital purpose-based financing. 

Building processes to select and curate compelling user experiences for all. 

Leveraging adaptive credit decisioning capabilities to improve access to finance.
