Charity starts at home

Double your impact this November

This November every single pound will be doubled* by three generous foundations, so a gift of £10 will become £20 at no additional cost to you.

Back Karamoja's homegrown solutions and double your donation today.

Clean water starts at home

Environmental crises always hit the poorest areas the hardest. 85% of people in Karamoja depend on agriculture, but more than 70% of households lack access to the recommended daily water amount. This year’s drought has destroyed over 90% of the once-blooming vegetable gardens we support, which local people had grown so carefully to provide for their children. This has reversed many of the gains they made in their plight to strengthen household resilience. They are miles from water sources, but they aren’t giving up.

While drought has devastated their crops, resilient families are replanting, and your doubled donation will drill community-managed boreholes - securing a close, permanent water supply to keep crops thriving, children fed, and school costs covered.

Education starts at home

Education in Karamoja lags significantly behind the rest of Uganda, presenting some of the starkest structural gaps in the country, and early childhood education presents an even more severe crisis. The first five years are the most vital window of a child’s development, yet remote villages lack early years services or trained teachers. With no learning opportunities nearby, 86% of youth here lack any formal education, missing out on both early learning and the vital safety net a classroom provides.

While remote Karamoja lacks the early education opportunities needed for critical child development, your doubled donation will bring vital learning straight to their doorsteps by replicating our proven ‘cluster learning’ model.

Protection starts at home

A lack of child safety services in remote Karamoja leaves children vulnerable to exploitation and harm. Many harmful practices are deeply woven into traditional survival strategies, designed to withstand one of East Africa’s harshest environments.

To protect children where official safety nets are absent, your doubled donation will back a community-led movement of cultural change, equipping local volunteers, elders, and families to collectively adapt traditional survival strategies to keep the next generation safe.

For solutions to last, they have to start at home.

£10 can fund one month of early learning for a child. With every pound doubled, that same £10 can give two children a whole month of learning and play.
