The Private Education Development Network (PEDN) believes that the key to Ugandan economic self-sufficiency lies in the great innovative minds of youth. As a nonprofit organization, PEDN promotes youth empowerment through the establishment of entrepreneurial, financial, and business skill programs in primary and secondary schools, as well as in communities.

 PEDN aims to support youth in their entrepreneurial exploration by facilitating a variety of youth-led and community-supported clubs. Each club provides youth with the opportunity to be creative, demonstrate initiative, enjoy activity-based learning, and practice entrepreneurial skills. As the rising generation of youth are nurtured in their quest for innovative solutions, they will be prepared to be changemakers within their community.
