About Kimanya-Ngeyo Foundation
Kimanya-Ngeyo Foundation for Science and Education is a Ugandan nonprofit, nongovernmental organization founded in 2007 and dedicated to advancing education for development. Kimanya-Ngeyo is inspired by universal principles found in the Bahá’í Faith including that each human being is created noble and that education is indispensable to releasing the potential of individuals to contribute to the advancement of civilization.
Kimanya-Ngeyo is based in Jinja City and operates in Jinja, Buikwe, and Kamuli Districts. At present, the work of the organization is focused on three interconnected areas: (1) raising the capacity of individuals to contribute to the development of their communities through an appropriate education; (2) supporting the professional development of teachers at all levels to enhance the quality of learning in schools as well as the relevance of learning for life outside of school; and (3) engaging in the research about agricultural practice and small scale food production in support of our efforts in the other two areas.

The Preparation for Social Action (PSA) program
At the heart of the educational endeavors of Kimanya-Ngeyo is the use of educational materials from the Preparation for Social Action (PSA) program. PSA was originally developed by an organization in Colombia, South America, known as the Foundation for the Application and Teaching of the Sciences (FUNDAEC). PSA represents one of many educational programs and materials developed by FUNDAEC to address the challenge of helping young people participate in the generation and application of knowledge as protagonists in the development of their local communities. Kimanya is one of many organizations in Africa and around the world that have taken inspiration from the work of FUNDAEC, utilizing a selection of its educational materials to address local challenges.
