Amigos is a charity which supports Ugandans to work their way out of poverty with dignity. We stand alongside the most vulnerable, many of whom have been affected by war and HIV. Through education, vocational training, conservation farming and emotional support we equip some of the poorest people to bring about lasting change in their lives.
This approach is changing the future for thousands of Ugandan families. With our support they are starting to feed their families, send their children to school, earn a steady income and lead and happy and fulfilled lives.
Our vision is for a confident and thriving rural Uganda where no one goes to bed hungry. Our mission is to give families the hope and the means to live off their own land and set up small businesses to revolutionise their futures.
How Amigos works:
Empowerment
We help people to help themselves and all our projects are community-led. Billions of pounds have been poured into Africa with little effect – but Amigos’ goal is to create wealth, not re-distribute it. This is why all of our projects are based around development, not aid. We call it a hand up rather than a hand out.
Sustainability
We believe sustainable solutions are the only solutions. Why give a man some maize when you can teach him to grow tonnes of it? Everyone we work with is trained to pass on their skills and all of our projects have an ‘end date’ so that we can go on to support more communities.
Freedom
Our innovative projects are creating lasting change. This is because we support poor people to become independent, rather than dependent. Our cost-effective projects are tackling the root causes of poverty, creating hope for the next generation. Resilient and economically vibrant communities are growing in Uganda right now!
