Program Details

Founded by Juliet, a 71-year-old grandmother, our non-profit organization in Uganda supports underprivileged children, disabled mothers and disadvantaged families. Based in Kibale Forest National Park, our initiatives began in Kahunge in 2007 and include various community projects.

We offer cultural tourism, such as campfire, local brewing, traditional dishes and farm visits. These excursions are not free, but volunteers benefit from special discounts. The proceeds from these activities support our programs, with 40% going directly to the community.

Our projects include a kindergarten for children from low-income families, handicraft making for local artisans, a pig-rearing project to help families pay school fees and a cultural group that performs traditional dances. We also focus on health education and women's empowerment.
