Family Compound Gardens Initiative
Empowering individual households to establish and sustainably cultivate family-sized gardens, directly addressing the critical need for enhanced local food security and the adoption of grassroots sustainable agricultural practices by providing essential resources, knowledge, and encouragement to improve household nutrition, reduce reliance on external food systems, and foster a deeper understanding of ecological principles, transforming homes into vital micro-hubs for learning, sharing, and cultivating self-sufficiency and environmental responsibility within our community.
Empower a Girl. Change Her Future.
Support Girls' Health & Education in Mubende & Katooke
Over 50% of Ugandan girls suffer from period poverty, forcing them to use unsafe materials and miss school. We're partnering with Possibilities Unlimited, Dutah Muhangi LTD, and Noah Blessed International Ministries to provide reusable sanitary pads and health education to 1,700 girls in Katooke at the "Home of Champions" school and Lwensambya Village. Your support keeps girls in school, protects their health, and restores dignity - $20 provides one girl with a year's supply of pads and vital education.
Clean Water for Local Schools
Clean Water for Local Schools, an initiative supported by WaterUnity Networks addresses the critical intersection of energy poverty and water scarcity by deploying purification systems that empower underserved schools to become self-sufficient hubs of health and learning. This innovative model empowers community-led water management, directly tackling the 43% of Ugandan schools lacking access to both clean water and reliable electricity (UNICEF, 2023).
Practical Skills Training Workshop
