Supported Projects

TOWANIKA (Augsburg, Germany)

Uganda remains one of the poorest countries in the world, with over 38% of the population living on less than $1.25 a day. Extended families often include up to 20 members, many of whom are in need, such as AIDS orphans, and rely on this network as their social safety net, as there is no formal social insurance system.

Despite compulsory education for children under 15, many do not attend school. Each person is entitled to 7 years of education, but many children are unable to attend due to the need to contribute to their family’s livelihood, care for younger siblings, or the lack of resources like school supplies and uniforms. Additionally, long distances to schools often require overnight stays, which is an added challenge.

Project Have Hope

Abalo Florence attended school up to senior one before leaving to start a family. In 2008, she sought assistance from Project Have Hope (PHH) and enrolled in their tailoring program. After graduating, PHH provided her with a loan to purchase a sewing machine and materials to launch her own business. Despite facing some challenges, Florence’s business has thrived, allowing her to create a sustainable livelihood.

Founded in 2006, Project Have Hope empowers women in Uganda’s Acholi Quarter through education and business initiatives.

DANA Developing a New Africa

Every child deserves to grow up in a healthy and safe environment. Our goal is to raise awareness about the importance of a clean environment and its vital role in human well-being.

Children are naturally curious, which is why DANA believes that environmental education is the most effective approach. Research shows that millions of children die each year from environment-related diseases, making this a global public health issue. Our program provides children and students with a strong foundation, empowering them to shape their future and seize opportunities for growth. Through engaging activities, we encourage them to tap into their creativity and gain valuable knowledge, fostering a positive shift in attitudes and contributing to the development of their communities.
