Communications Lead
Kampala Uganda | May 2025 – Present
Education Bridge is a non-profit organization founded in 2013 with a clear purpose: to provide young people in South Sudan with access to quality education and leadership development.
The organization works with students, educators, and communities across multiple regions, building an ecosystem that supports future leaders. Leaders who can drive peace, stability, and progress in their communities.
Education Bridge focuses on empowering South Sudanese youth with the skills, knowledge, and values they need to overcome challenges and lead change.
Through its schools, mentorship programs, and scholarship support, the organization helps young people navigate barriers—and grow into problem-solvers, leaders, and builders of a better future.
At Education Bridge, I began as a Junior Researcher, working to address one of South Sudan’s greatest challenges: ensuring more young people successfully transition from secondary school to university despite difficult economic realities. My early work involved exploring and documenting post-secondary transition mechanisms that could expand access to higher education for South Sudanese students. I investigated strategies that schools could adopt to prepare students academically, personally, and professionally for competitive scholarships and university admissions.
As my role evolved, I transitioned into Communications Lead, where I now focus on amplifying Education Bridge’s impact through strategic storytelling, stakeholder engagement, and brand positioning. I create compelling narratives that showcase our students’ journeys, highlight organizational milestones, and engage both local and international audiences. My work integrates the insights I gained from research into our communications strategy, ensuring that our message is grounded in evidence and resonates with those who can support and expand our mission.
In both capacities, my goal has remained the same: to build a sustainable system that equips South Sudanese students with the opportunities, skills, and visibility they need to thrive in higher education and beyond.
