Uganda Village Project

Mission Statement

Uganda Village Project (UVP) is a 501(c)(3) charity founded in 2003 to facilitate community health and well-being in rural Uganda through improved access, education, and prevention. We envision a future in which all Ugandan communities have the means to effectively create and implement their own health and development solutions. Our efforts are guided by the following values: (1) We respect the communities that we work with, and will work with them to build culturally appropriate programs that address their self-identified greatest needs, and maintain their dignity and values. (2) Public health and development programs must be sustainable in order to have a real impact in communities. (3) Learning about and experiencing the culture and daily lives of the Ugandan people is the only way to build trust and true partnerships.
