Discover Ulrika Institute

Empowering lives through practical skills since 1976 — a legacy of excellence in home economics, fashion, and catering.

Ulrika Institute of Home Economics is a registered vocational training institution under the patronage of Blessed Sister Ulrika of Hegne, Germany. Founded in 1976 by the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Reparatrix (IHMR) – Ggogonya, we have grown into a leading TVET provider in Uganda, offering hands‑on programmes in Catering, Fashion & Design, and Hair‑Dressing.
