PETERPOL Friends of Jesus Disabled Foundation was founded by Peter Kaboggoza in February of 2012 influenced by his father’s advocacy for the disabled. Peter’s Deaf niece Lilian did her primary at Ntinda School for the Deaf.  Upon completing primary school, the Deaf students had no local options in Uganda at which to continue their education in secondary school.  Fortunate students were accepted to join Mumias School for the Deaf in Kenya, which required them to leave their families and country to continue their education in Kenya. Peter began volunteering by accompanying his niece to Mumias School of the Deaf, which inspired him to start a Community-Based Organization that has expanded to serve persons with various disabilities as the program grows.  As Peter became more involved with the deaf community, he realized that simply providing vocational skills to persons with disabilities was not sufficient to provide the systemic and cultural changes necessary for individuals with disabilities to thrive in Uganda, so he started a local Skills Training Centre as an outreach program to provide education, skills and Ugandan Sign Language training to students, families, and communities about disabilities, and to provide government organizations with the necessary knowledge and tools to create policies that empower persons with disabilities.  Peter advanced his education by attaining an MA in Educational Leadership and Administration and a Certificate in Serving Exceptional Learners in Catholic Schools at Boston College (May 2017). He has also completed a PhD in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at Wayne State University in Detroit (December 2022). His research topic is, How Educators Have Served and Supported Deaf Students in Uganda: A Case Study at a Secondary School for the Deaf. Armed with this new knowledge, he intends to continue to grow the PETERPOL Foundation in terms of the number of students served and services provided.
