Here you will have the opportunity to get an insight in how we live, what we are trying to achieve for our community and which projects we try to realize to break the cycle of poverty and to become an example and inspiration for other communities, in Uganda and around the world.

to break the cycle of poverty and become selfreliant
The costs of food have been a continuous struggle for many within our community. We have been able to acquire half an acre of land and as from the beginning of 2024, we are growing potatoes, cabbage and corn, to provide for our own food. Over production is shared within the community and sold on the market..
enabling food security and improving health
Kalangalo, like many remote communities, is struggling with a severe water crisis. At both individual and community levels, the only water source available is a spring located nearly 2 miles away in the forest. This poses risks to the community, especially children who face dangers like kidnapping and drowning due to the unsafe conditions surrounding the spring. The need to fetch water from afar also results in children missing out on education. Furthermore, without sufficient water, agricultural activities become impossible, exacerbating food insecurity due to poor or failed harvests caused by persistent drought conditions and lack of irrigation.
learning tailoring skills and trying to generate income
“Okutunga mu Bikolwa” (Tailoring in Action) program is an initiative aimed at empowering vulnerable girls, young mothers, and widows. The program aims to provide tailoring skills and small business management knowledge to help these women establish sustainable businesses.
The program aims to address the economic challenges faced by vulnerable women through skills training and business support. It focuses on equipping participants with tailoring skills, business management knowledge, and the necessary resources to start and sustain their own tailoring businesses. By fostering a supportive community, the program seeks to create a platform for women to learn, network, and collaborate.
