About Us
"Create all the happiness you are able to create: remove all the misery you are able to remove. Everyday will allow you to add something to the pleasure of others, or to diminish their pain."
This is our guiding principle – we know we can’t solve all the world’s problems but each one of us can make a positive difference.
Where we work
We work in Eastern Uganda, in the town of Mbale and the village of Kyemula, and now in the even more remote village of Namayili.
Kyemula lies to to the South of Mbale. The distance from Kampala is only around 140 miles but as the road is unmetalled beyond Jinja, travel time is around 6 hours.
Namayili is so remote it doesn't appear on any maps but it is to the North East of Mbale and travelling there takes about 60-90 minutes by car or bus.
