For Uganda’s Children

A cup of porridge may seem insignificant, but half the children in Uganda don’t have three meals a day.

Because hunger creates a barrier to learning, Action in Africa offers healthy and delicious cups of porridge, snacks, and fresh fruits and veggies.

For Uganda’s Youth

Many Ugandans won’t pass 7th grade, so Action in Africa offers merit-based scholarships and mentorships to guide students from grade school through university graduation and beyond.

For Uganda’s Adults

Half of Uganda lives in poverty. Action in Africa combats this through pop-up healthcare clinics, adult education programs, and a community library.

Our Efforts

to address these challenges have provided life-changing support to thousands of people in under-resourced communities.
