The Muljibhai Madhvani Foundation is a charitable trust established in 1965, with the aim of empowering Ugandans by providing scholarships to students pursuing scientific and technical tertiary education in Uganda. The fund is supported by the rent earnings from Madhvani Group-owned property in the central business district of Kampala city. The annual scholarship fund currently stands at UGX 750 million, allocating 75% to undergraduate courses and 25% postgraduate courses. Beneficiaries are selected exclusively on merit, competence, ability of the candidates and financial background of the family.
In 2018, Kakira Sugar Limited established the Kakira Sugar Busoga Foundation. The UGX 400 million scholarship fund is aimed at specifically sponsoring students in vocational training to address the high levels of unemployment in the region. Thirty percent (30%) of the scholarship is distributed to biological dependents of KSL employees, thirty percent (30%) to dependants of registered KSL out-grower farmers and the balance forty percent (40%) to students within the Busoga sub-region.
