About Abundant Life Uganda
Our mission is to alleviate poverty by sustainably supporting families in Uganda. We achieve this through a range of initiatives, including income-generating courses and grants, education sponsorships, and community outreach and development projects.
Since 2016, our volunteers have been involved in charitable work in Uganda, collaborating with various organisations. In 2018, we were inspired to establish our own charity, operated primarily by volunteers, to maximize financial and other resources and make a lasting impact at the point of need.
Challenges we Face
Uganda lacks a free education system, and even government-run schools require significant contributions from parents. For many families living in poverty, this means they cannot afford to send all their children to school. With 48% of Uganda’s population under the age of 15 and 31% living below the poverty line (earning less than $1 per day), access to education is a critical issue. (World Bank, 2022)
In addition, there is limited government-funded healthcare. Public hospitals are unable to provide most medical and surgical treatments without charging fees, leaving many people without the care they need.
At Abundant Life Uganda, we are committed to filling these gaps by working with families in the slum areas of Kampala by providing education, healthcare, and opportunities to build a brighter future. Together, we can bring the joy of abundant life to those who need it most.
