Mission Statement
Our mission is to help improve the lives of people in rural Uganda.
About This Cause
We are a UK Charity which supports rural communities in Uganda. Our projects have three strands: Agriculture - FOAG supports farmers to grow more food in harmony with nature and to reduce food waste to improve food security. Education - FOAG is supporting Primary Schools by improving their facilities as well as sponsoring individual students in their secondary and tertiary education by paying their fees and giving them living grants. We have supported students who eventually became technicians, teachers and nurses. Health - FOAG aims to support healthcare, whether by provision of equipment or funds, typically for corrective surgery for disabled children. This is in addition to healthcare training for future nurses in Uganda. Often these strands are interconnected - for instance we support Conservation Agriculture in Childrens Centres to allow them to grow their own food - this also has the benefit that the local farmers assist the Centres and can see the benefits of Conservation Agriculture and thereby adopt it. The Rehabilitation Centres offer education and we pay for corrective surgery for disabled children where appropriate.
