Overview

Mission

We create new pathways that inspire global citizenship and foster sustainable change through cross-cultural education and investment in social enterprise.

What it reported doing in 2025

Education Program: Serving over 2,500 students and 142 staff in our Colorado andUgandan partner schools, Mwebaza delivers experiential education programs that bring together students and educators to engage in guided self-reflection, cultural exchange, and dialogue on global issues. These program are designed to help participants develop a deeper understanding of their identities, build empathy across cultures, and cultivate the skills necessary to become thoughtful engaged citizens.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
