Sanyu Foundation

About us

Sanyu Foundation, founded in 2005, is a non-profit community based organisation which is a brain child of a group of professionals consisting of health workers, education professionals, social workers and humanitarians; who were concerned about the poor health conditions, absolute poverty, poor education services and the impacts of adverse effects of climate change on poor local communities found in rural districts of Uganda. Since 2005, we have worked with poor local to find solutions to local problems and to achieve self sustainability on their own terms.

Our Goals:
Active participation; of members of the local communities in all capacity building trainings and development projects. This is essential, because without participation there can be no empowerment. We encourage local communities to make their own decisions and find their own solutions to their unique problems.

Thematic areas:
Health
• Maternal and Child Health
• Youth health friendly services/Adolescent health
Vegan Sensitization
• We are Vegans and trying to raise Vegan children and believe that all life matter and so we chose compassion for all living beings.
Poverty Reduction /Alleviation
