Nabweru Community Initiative for Youth Empowerment Ltd (NCIYE) Nabweru Community Initiative for Youth Empowerment Ltd (NCIYE) is a registered non-governmental organization founded in 2022 and based in Nabweru Sub-county, Wakiso District, Uganda.

Training emphasizes hands-on practice so that graduates leave ready to work or to self-employ. 2. Educati
