Registered Country: France

Charity reg. number: Déclaration Sous-Préfecture Dieppe 13 December 2004

When founded: 2004

Countries charity is working in: Uganda

The difference this charity makes: Our aim is to help people to understand the economic, political and social position of Uganda and its people and to raise money in order set up projects in Uganda which will improve the education and social conditions of its people of all ages.

The impact of the charity work so far: The poor and isolated villages of Bulumbu and Bubebbere saw villagers leaving and the place started to die. Amongst many things we helped to found two primary schools, an orphanage and developed agriculture to help the area become self-sufficient. People now see the possibility of a positive future.

Future plans of this charity: The school at Bubebbere lacks proper windows/doors; there is a lack of space in the classrooms; there are not enough books. Following droughts, the diet is not always sufficient or properly nourishing. The conditions in the orphanage are still very basic. We aim to address these and other projects.

Obstacles this charity faces: Earning sufficient funds is a constant problem despite recent progress, and we shall have to maintain and even increase our efforts to build these communities inside and outside the schools. At present, everybody is a volunteer; we have no paid employees.
