Our Values
At AMPE Foundation, our values is to promote compassion, dignity, and transparency in all that we do. We believe in the power of unity and collaboration to create meaningful change in the world.
Our Why
In 2019, during a visit to Uganda, Peter Gleeson, inspired by his mother Alice Gleeson's educational journey, visited the primary school she attended over 45 years ago. Witnessing the rundown state of the school and its lack of a functional library, Peter made a promise to help rebuild it. This promise laid the foundation for AMPE Foundation.
Alice's story is one of resilience and determination. Despite the challenges, her early education in Bukono County provided a solid foundation for her academic pursuits. Her journey from a rural school in Uganda to achieving success is a testament to the power of education and opportunity. Inspired by Alice's story and motivated by the need to give back, Peter, along with Alice and other dedicated individuals, founded AMPE Foundation to address the educational and socio-economic challenges in Uganda.

Bukono County
In Uganda, the AMPE Foundation plans to first intervene in Bukono County, located in the Namutumba District within the Busoga Region of Eastern Uganda. This region is characterised by its high rates of school dropouts, which pose significant challenges to the community's socio-economic development and overall well-being.
The region faces widespread poverty, with many families unable to afford school fees, uniforms, and other educational materials.
Bukono County has one of the highest school dropout rates in Uganda. According to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS), dropout rates in Eastern Uganda are significantly higher than the national average.
