Projects in Uganda
Karamoja is one of the poorest regions in a country which is known as being very poor in general. In the projects here we try to help persons in a concrete and ongoing manner.
We have been present in Uganda since 2012. Over the years we have supported several projects and to date it is the country to which we have allocated the most funds. We are alongside the association "Insieme si Può..." of Belluno; we are proud and very happy about this.
We are currently financing interventions aimed at structural, health and nutrition improvements in Primary Schools and Medical Centres with the goal of guaranteeing the Right to Education, Food and Health to the greatest number of people.
Fighting malnutrition, increasing food security and guaranteeing the Right to Water is the primary objective of Wine to Water, a programme established in 2017 and supported thanks to the valuable collaboration of friends and corporate partners such as STI.
Finding a new source of livelihood for local people (pastoralists and herders) affected by the effects of climate change, diversifying their diets and improving their living and health conditions is another of the main pillars of our agro-forestry interventions.
Improving the conditions of HIV-positive people to enable them to be self-sufficient, decrease social stigma and help them on their path to inclusion is the programme we have been supporting since 2017 in cooperation with the local Choose Life Home Based Care Association.
