WHO THEY SERVE

AFARD works in West Nile region, Uganda with poor, rural, and marginalized community groups composed of women, men, youth, fisher forks, and persons living with HIV/AIDS. Majority live in large households with about 7 people where they eat one unbalanced meal a day; lack access to safe water sources; cannot afford to send their children to schools; and hardly participate in local governance issues.

West Nile is the second poorest region in Uganda. Its socio-economic transformation will require collaborative efforts. You too can support AFARD’s effort by financing small projects and community-wide projects. You can also volunteer to fundraise for our work, share your skills with our team, learn new skills and cultures, and make new friends.
