IBENENEKA LEARNING COMMUNITY CENTER
Ibeneneka is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of children in Eastern Uganda. The non-profit is in the processes of establishing a school called the Ibeneneka Learning Center, which aims to provide educational resources for village children. These resources would include classrooms, a library, a kitchen, restrooms, and other essentials for children to thrive.
Come join us in Fresno on October 18th, 2025 for a fun-filled afternoon of raising funds for a great cause. This in-person event promises to be a night to remember, filled with delicious food, exciting activities, and wonderful company.
Lance Omeje was born and raised in Abiya village, located in northeastern Uganda. He then immigrated to the United States where he attended college and completed a fulfilling career in education. Now in retirement, Lance is returning home to give back to his community.
Lance was motivated to give back to Abiya when upon a long-awaited return, he noticed that students were still gathering under Mango trees to attend school, without books, electricity or a facility. Read Lance's story here.
Ibeneneka Learning Center opened it's doors in January 2024. Three buildings have been completed and include classrooms, a library, office, and latrines. Currently, solar panels are being installed for power and a well with plumbing is being constructed.
