Children are the future. Also in Uganda. But only when they are able to go to school. Because a good education provides better opportunities for an independent life. Therefore the Astrid Uganda Foundation wants all children to be able tot got to school. How do we achieve that? By asking the local community how they would tackle this issue themselves. That works.

"If more organizations would accept that Africans take the lead in implementing ideas that affect themselves, a lot of donor money would be more successful than it is now" says Fred Obala, project manager on behalf ICUganda for Astrid Uganda Foundation.

The community around the Green Valley Nursery and Orphanage Centre School in Bwera is the first to benefit from the unique approach of the Astrid Uganda Foundation. Since February 2010, the foundation also supports projects in the Masindi district. Read more about the projects of the Astrid Foundation and see for yourself that they really earn your support.

Additional support for ARDI project

In 2012 ARDI started with the purchase of a piece of land with the financial support of the Astrid Uganda Foundation. In the course of 2012 toilets were built first and the grounds were fenced in.
