Organisation Objectives

To help local communities in Uganda build and improve educational infrastructure for the benefit of the whole community.

Charity Ethos

The majority of funds are raised in the UK.  UK volunteers work alongside Ugandan volunteers to build infrastructure in Uganda.  100% of funds raised are spent directly on the project in Uganda.  The local communities in Uganda donate some locally available materials (e.g. sand, water, hardcore) free of charge.  UK volunteers are unpaid and pay for their own expenses.
