Overview

Mission

To provide financial, educational, business and other assistance to impoverished and disadvantaged people in Uganda, especially women and children, in order to empower them to overcome poverty.

What it reported doing in 2024

Child and Youth Education Program: Educational assistance of various sorts is provided to selected children of people participating in our income-generation programs and including some students who attend the Agwata community school. In addition, we provide training to both students and parents on important topics. Sub-programs to help the children are:1. Child sponsorship program which currently has over 210 children sponsored2. Scholarships for selected students in secondary, university or vocational training. A total of 89 students including both girls and boys received these scholarships.3. Girls' Education Initiative to help girls in 3rd to 6th grade at the Agwata location excel so that they can continue into secondary school without dropping out to get married. As part of this program, reusable sanitary pad kits are distributed to girls at the Agwata school as well as two other primary schools in the district.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
