OUR STORY

Three Decades Strong: A Legacy of Experience and a Team Built for Impact

OUR SUCCESS IS IN OUR TRANSPARENCY

After years in Uganda, we set out to create a genuinely transparent way to help. We invite everyone to look closely and verify our work.

Nearly 30 years in Uganda has shown us that sanitation, sustainable farming, and leadership through sports are equally essential—creating the foundation for stronger learning and healthier communities.

OUR PROGRAMS

Education

We expand access to learning by providing school supplies, desks, classroom repairs, and direct support to vulnerable children—removing barriers so every student can thrive.

Sanitation

We build safe, reliable pit latrines and hand-washing facilities to prevent disease, improve dignity, and create healthier learning environments for Uganda’s youth.

Sports

Through boys’ and girls’ athletics, we teach leadership, confidence, teamwork, and discipline—empowering youth with skills that strengthen both school and community life.

Culture

We celebrate Uganda’s rich traditions through dance, music, and community activities that promote unity, self-expression, and respect across generations.

SANITATION = EDUCATION

Obstacles to education are abound in Uganda. If children don't have proper facilities, they may not come to school. 

When we discovered how crucial it was, we built a pit latrine that is expected to last over 20 years.
