Visit to Amigos Uganda
This month, three members of the Amigos UK team, Tim, Jodie and Kayte, visited Uganda, spending time on Kira Farm Development Centre and visiting Masindi to see Amigos’ work partnering with local communities.
Supporting disadvantaged people to work their way out of poverty and thrive
Amigos Worldwide works alongside people and communities in rural Uganda, inspiring sustainable change through vocational training, conservation farming, infrastructure development and supporting the most vulnerable.
With many of the communities we work with having experienced the trauma of civil war, struggling with food insecurity, being damaged by domestic violence and being unable to access clean water, many lives are desperate, fragile and fearful.
Amigos’ vision is to train young people in beekeeping and inspire them to go back to their home communities and build successful honey businesses. Ultimately, we hope that these amazing young people will be able to provide employment for others and contribute to the transformation of their rural communities.
How you can help
Kira Farm Development Centre occupies 22 acres of lush land in southern Uganda. Every year, 50 young people come to Kira Farm, where their lives are transformed.
Our unique community development programme is designed to equip entire communities with the skills, resources and infrastructure to create long-term, sustained change.
Our unique family sponsorship programme is child sponsorship with a difference. It does more than just help a child go to school – it provides training to the child’s caregiver too.
“Amigos demonstrates excellent integrity and value for money in delivering its relevant, up-to-date and transformative programmes.”
