Quality Education

Machika Foundation is focused on improving the learning of children in Uganda.

Economic Empowerment

Why we exist

Our community is vulnerable — and deserves quality programs, not pity.

Founded in 2021 and registered as charity CR/045/2023, Machika Foundation implements projects that respond to the real causes of poverty, water scarcity, weak education and skills, biodiversity loss and marginalisation — together with the communities living them.
