About Us
We are full-time non-salaried volunteers, thrilled with the potential of Uganda and working together with others--to make a difference. We've been registered in Uganda for 10 years and our main focus is establishing a fully self-sustained project for orphans in Gulu who were born to child soldiers during the war. We are developing a horticultural farm, building housing and a school for the children, and hope to bring alternative ideas for poverty eradication to the local communities in the area.Partners
