Eric Ayamba

Eric Ayamba is an educator and visionary leader passionate about harnessing education as a catalyst for transforming rural communities into self-reliant and sustainable societies. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance with a concentration in Economics from United States International University-Africa and has cultivated expertise in economics, econometrics, and rural education transformation. In 2022, Eric expanded his global perspective by studying Economics for Developing Countries at Sciences Po, France, where he deepened his understanding of policy formulation for low-income and developing nations.

As the Co-Founder of Jasper Schools Uganda, established in 2025, Eric leads the organization's flagship institution, Jasper Primary School in Nyairongo, Uganda, where he has strengthened community partnerships, implemented efficient administrative systems, and enhanced the school's community profile. Under his leadership, Jasper has built partnerships with leading institutions such as the African Leadership Academy, advancing its mission to eliminate barriers to quality education in rural areas.

He was awarded the Little Bets Challenge by ALforEducation during the 2024 gathering in Johannesburg, South Africa, which supported his establishment of community hubs promoting gender equity in education, leading to increased school enrolment for young girls in Nyairongo. He was also part of the inaugural cohort of the Edupreneur Growth Lab in 2021 and the Cohort 4 Apprenticeship Program under ALforEducation, experiences that built his understanding of Africa's state of education and strengthened his commitment to designing education solutions across the continent and the Global South at large.

Guided by the belief that "no child should be denied education because of gender or location," Eric continues to champion transformative educational models that empower communities and inspire sustainable development.
