We are a UK-based not-for-profit organisation committed to a world in which every person has the opportunity to earn a living.

How your support transforms lives

  • 100% of your donation goes to the people who need it. There are no UK overheads – every penny you give is used on the ground in Uganda to provide food and essential medical care, and to operate our programmes and day centre.
  • People not programmes – because your donation helps individuals, not faceless aid programmes, you can see the huge personal difference your gift makes.
  • All of us have the right to take responsibility for our own development and independence. Your support provides opportunities, not aid, empowering marginalised and disadvantaged children, individuals and communities to take control of their futures with dignity and self respect.
  • We personally know every child, young person and adult who benefits from our work, and regularly share their news with our supporters.
