UGANDA

The needs in Uganda are great. According to the World Bank, more than half of the extreme poor live in Sub-Saharan Africa, and that number is increasing. "In 2015, 413 million people were living on less than US $1.90 a day, more than all the other regions combined. If the trend continues, by 2030, nearly 9 out of 10 extreme poor will be in the Sub-Saharan Africa."

We have the privilege of partnering with In the Garden Missions and many Ugandan volunteers and partners who are showing hope and love in Uganda.

Clean water, new skills and hope for families in Uganda

Uganda is a beautiful country full of warm, welcoming people. It is also a place where many families face extreme poverty and struggle to find clean water, steady income and the basics their children need.

We have the privilege of partnering with In the Garden Missions and many Ugandan volunteers and local partners who are showing love and hope in their own communities.

The need

Poverty is real, and so is hope

According to the World Bank, more than half of the world’s extreme poor live in Sub-Saharan Africa, and that number continues to grow.

In Uganda, that means families walking long distances for water that isn’t safe to drink, mothers looking for a way to earn an income, and children who need shoes and supplies to stay in school.

Local partners, lasting change

We walk alongside Ugandan leaders and volunteers who know their communities best. Together we bring clean water, help women build small businesses, and give families livestock that can grow into a steady source of food and income.

How we serve

Meeting real needs, one family at a time

Livestock for Families

Goats provide nutritious milk, chickens provide eggs, and piglets grow into a source of extra income. Each one is a small business that keeps on giving.

Shoes for School

For many children, a pair of school shoes is part of what it takes to stay in class. On average, $15 provides uniform shoes for a child in need.
