This campaign has now closed
For more than 30 years, Dolen Ffermio has been working with some of the most rural communities in Uganda to help tackle their challenges. Through a range of programmes led by our Ugandan partners, we promote sustainable ways to grow food, access clean water, develop skills and life opportunities.

Situation
There are areas of Eastern Uganda that have been literally left behind – infrastructure is almost non-existent, health systems rudimentary, education unaffordable and the effects of climate change are all too clear. Many people living here suffer food shortages and drought, experience extreme poverty and have few employment opportunities. Yet, they're resilient, positive and resourceful – they just need a fair chance. We can all do our bit so they can have that chance…
Solution
We’re all too aware of the unsustainable nature of charitable ‘giving’ – our approach is all about partnership. Our Ugandan colleagues understand local challenges and local solutions, so our role is to open up opportunities that may not be available within their community. For example, it could be by accessing finance, sharing expertise or raising awareness. As a small volunteer run charity, our work is all about small actions that together with our partners result in a long-lasting impact.
