Brief History
Tony Lenart pioneered this great institution in 2000 with the support of a number of Ugandans. In 2004, the Institute embarked on a process of restructuring its activities, adding a new dimension to consultancy by providing academic certificates and Diplomas in Humanities, while at the same time engaging in research and development.

    We have a young and dynamic team of professionals dedicated to transforming people and creating a massive human capital development in Africa. Some of our associate partners with a rich experience in personal development have over the last years sacrificed their precious time and resources to ensure the continuity of the Institute, they have volunteered as facilitators on several occasions and this has enabled us to utilize our meager resources meaningfully.

Our desire is to do everything differently from other institutions in Uganda and Africa in general. We desire to cause a paradigm shift in our education system in Uganda by putting emphasis on education that builds individual skills of creativity and innovation. We welcome any person or organization that feels they can make a difference to humanity to join and support us morally, financially or otherwise and guarantee that you will never regret the choice made.

• Mutual Respect and Trust
