Aid project in Uganda · Kijaguzo Family Development Initiative

Training creates a future.

We help families in Uganda secure their livelihoods independently – with a focus on vocational training for young people who cannot afford to go to school.

Why we help

The Kijaguzo community lies in the former Luweero Triangle in central Uganda – a region deeply marked by the war of liberation after the Idi Amin era. Around 70,000 people live here, most of them young. About 65 % get by on less than two euros a day.
