They encourage people know how to protect themselves through  handwashing and good hygiene. Here is  link to find out more https://www.toilettwinning.org/what-we-do/
  • Farmers Overseas Action Group   More than 1 in 5 rural Ugandans are living below the poverty line today. It is estimated that growth in agriculture is at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth in other sectors. Figures also show that 30 per cent of all food produced in Uganda is lost due to poor post-harvest handing and inadequate storage. Their mission is to help farmers to grow more and waste less food. We are also delighted to support a partially sighted young woman Esther through her teacher training education
