About Us

Who We Are

NITEO Uganda was founded in 2007 with a vision to see Uganda thriving through the power of literacy. 

NITEO is a latin word which means “to thrive, to flourish, to shine bright” and we believe it is through the ability to read that bridges are built to bright and hopeful futures.

Our Vision

To see every child in Uganda thriving through the power of literacy! The ability to read changes lives and builds bridges to bright and hopeful futures. 

Our Mission

Open Books, Open Minds, Open Doors. We address literacy inequity by providing books to communities with limited access to books.

OUR CORE VALUES

Reciprocity

Everyone has something to offer and everyone has something to learn. 

Respect  

All people will be treated with dignity. All opinions will be heard and valued. 

Relationship  

At the heart of literacy learning are healthy relationships - with ourselves, with others, and with our world.

Sustainable  

Every participant becomes a conduit of literacy learning for others, which is not only sustainable but an exponential investment in future generations.

Community 

 Literacy learning flourishes in communities, rather than in isolated academic endeavors. 

Shareable and Accessible

We develop our programs so that they can be easily used, and we share our work to further literacy equity.
