Together with the communities we serve we have identified key areas where change needs to have a positive impact if poverty is to become a challenge of the past.

Our Area of Operations:
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.
