Uganda

Uganda, the so-called “pearl of Africa“, is one of the better developed nations in the east of the continent, but twenty years of civil war in the north of the country have left their mark. On top of this, the country is burdened with massive numbers of refugees from the neighbouring countries of DR Congo and South Sudan.

The official position of the government is that Uganda needs to help its neighbours in need, and accept refugees into its own villages and communities. The regions affected by this phenomenon, however, are also often suffering from drought, a lack of drinking water, and other structural weaknesses.

With your donation, we support people in need in Uganda

We have been working in Uganda since 1996, focusing on providing refugees - primarily in northern Uganda - with essential health care, water and sanitation, and hygiene services.

Since the outbreak of civil war in South Sudan, more than one million people, including many women and children, have sought refuge in Uganda. The Rhino Camp refugee settlement in northern Uganda hosts a significant population of South Sudanese refugees. In response, we are implementing comprehensive measures to improve drinking water and hygiene, benefiting both refugees and the local community. These initiatives include installing water tanks, constructing water supply systems, and ensuring regular water deliveries.

In addition to these efforts, we are strengthening the local health system by establishing emergency care services. We also support young adults as they integrate into the labor market and promote sustainable agriculture, helping to create lasting opportunities for both refugees and host communities.
