We are operating
in Kyampisi sub-county
in Mukono district, about 35Kms from Kampala city, the capital of
Uganda. Kyampisi is a typical rural area with about 60, 000 people, whose social-economic conditions are very poor. 97% of the residents are subsistence farmers who mainly grow food crops for home consumption.
The result of the above is a very poor economic base with more than 90% of the families living under the poverty line. The main source of income for people is farming, whose produce price has drastically fallen.
Our priority
Program is Water, Education, Environment, Social-Economic and Health. We are mobilizing the community to put up a community resource centre, which will be rendering general social services to the community.
For this reason, we would prefer to keep costs as low as possible. There is
No obligation to fundraise, but if you do manage to raise some money you can put it directly into the project where you are
Volunteering. Here you can see exactly how your money is being used to help.
