Growth 2008 – 2019
Since 2009 our native team in Uganda has been reaching out to the destitute population of the Mayuge District, third poorest of Uganda’s 74 districts, where 50% of the population is under the age of 15. The district was the site of the infamous sleeping sickness epidemic in the 1950s, during which the government declared the area a no-man’s land and drove out the entire population.
Since the 1970s the community has been slowly rebuilding from scratch and as a result seems behind the curve in what is already a very underdeveloped nation. Operating a diverse farmland enterprise, we’ve equipped our team with a piggery and other resources to empower and multiply their efforts.
Our programs are addressing the root causes of extreme poverty through education by way of three schools we operate: one rural primary school, one urban primary school in the slums of Kampala, and one rural boarding high school.
