About Us

Who We Are

FICH Uganda

​A  vibrant indigenous grassroots organization that has been in operation since 2010. With zeal and desire, we assist and support youth in school, married/unmarried women and men, persons with disabilities, youth and those who dropped out of school with special attention given to the poor dwelling in hard-to-reach and remote areas. 

​Our priorities are in education for children affected by conflict and disadvantaged livelihoods with a strong focus on entrepreneurship development, women empowerment and community development. 

Problem

​​With the current organizational re-alignment, our focus is on developing programs initiated by and for the local communities at large. In creating sustainability of community self-reliance, strong leadership, and gender equality, we have discovered that this starts at ground zero within the communities and is achieved through community-led participation. We seek to establish partnerships with entities that clearly understand and appreciate the benefits of community-led programs.

Our Purpose
