Outreach Uganda Information

Outreach Uganda is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering impoverished communities in Uganda, with a focus on women and children. Our mission is driven by initiatives in income-generation, education, and community development. Key programs include: Education: We help fund a community primary/nursery school with over 700 students and a Girls' Education Initiative supporting over 150 girls in grades three through six, aiming to motivate and support their academic achievement, We have over 200 children sponsored so they can attend school including some students who have advanced to the vocational or university level. Over 50 sponsored students have graduated from school. Healthcare: We provide contributions for nurses' salaries and medicines at an adjacent community clinic. This clinic provides essential medical services to over 5,000 individuals across five villages. Community Support: We manage a home-building project which will benefit up to 40 women in the Jinja area. Income-Generation: Our program focuses on training Ugandan women in two community-based groups in business and farming skills to help them establish small-scale businesses or cash crop farming ventures. We also sell fair trade crafts in the U.S. which provides additional funds to the women making the products and helps fund the additional community level projects. Our integrated approach since our founding in 2007 ensures comprehensive support for education, health, and economic empowerment in the regions we serve. We are funded primarily by individual and business contributions and a few small grants. We welcome inquiries from all who are interested in helping us in our mission!
