Our mission is to advance the education, health and well-being of pupils, teachers and communities associated with our three Ugandan schools.
We do this through providing teachers, clean water, brick buildings for classrooms, school meals, an orphanage, and large farming projects to enable self sufficiency.

Funding for Lady Grace School
In the summer we were delighted to receive 10,000 euros from the UN Women's group in Vienna. This has been matched by the YF team that went out in the summer. As a result the building is now up with a roof on and this will start being used fully next term in January. A big thank you to everyone who has made this possible.
Funding to Complete classrooms at Antioch
In December we will be able to restart building here to make a new 3 classroom block. This will enable the nursery school to come onto the same site and make future management easier.
We had a fantastic time. The plan worked to do vocational training with carpentry and machine sewing. As a result we have 4 fledgeling cottage industries. This will provide empolyment for 16 people by selling reuseable sanitary pads and furniture.
A big thnk you goes to all who made this possible. See Blog
Adult trip 2018
The Adult team went to do vocational training in carpentry and machine sewing in order to help less academic students develop businesses and careers.
YF Uganda 2019
This is being launched in May. Once again we plan to take a team of about 30 teenagers to Uganda, to work in schools, learn about the developing world and to develop their own presonalities and sense of purpose in life.
They have to raise all their own funds and we hope that you will be happy to support them.
