THE WORLD ACCORDING TO AUNTIE JACKIE: LIFE, ADVOCACY, AND THE UNEXPECTED.

Hey! I’m Jacqueline, but in Uganda, I’m affectionately known as Auntie Jackie—a name of respect that’s charmingly clung to me. Transitioning from the allure of New York's luxury sector to founding the Shule Foundation, am on a mission is to uplift Uganda's street boys, guiding them toward their fullest potential through education and critical thinking. Alongside my adventures in travel, love for dogs and pigs, and an undeniable weakness for chocolate, I'm deeply committed to creating a nurturing environment for every boy child. While fundraising may not be my forte and procrastination a familiar foe, my goal is to ensure our initiatives in agriculture, fashion, and technology are sustainable, diminishing the need for fundraising. Join me on this heartfelt journey, filled with challenges, triumphs, and everything that makes us human. Together, we can make a world of difference, one boy at a time.
