Era92 has officially opened the doors to the era92 Hub in Uganda, a purpose-built center designed to empower young people across Africa through training, mentorship, and faith-driven innovation.
After six months of development, the era92 Hub has officially opened, marking a new chapter in the organization’s ongoing mission to address youth unemployment across Africa.
The milestone follows an extensive period of planning, construction, and collaboration that brought together community leaders, funders, and partners who believed in the project from the beginning.
The Hub’s journey included both a soft launch and a grand opening celebration attended by key supporters, funders, and members of the community.
The events reflected era92’s commitment to building not only a space for innovation but also a community grounded in purpose and shared values.

The era92 Model serves as the foundation of this initiative, addressing one of the continent’s most pressing challenges: widespread youth unemployment.
The Hub connects young Africans to global best practices in training, faith, finance, and technology, equipping them to participate in the modern economy and build sustainable futures.
Through era92 Finance, the organization supports young entrepreneurs in becoming business owners, ensuring that economic transformation extends to families and communities.
Meanwhile, the Elevate Program provides graduates with mentorship, practical tools, and access to networks that help scale their ideas and turn potential into impact.

The era92 Hub stands as a tribute to the visionaries who helped bring it to life. The organization expressed deep gratitude to its Legacy Builders, whose belief and generosity turned an idea into reality.
